Secrets of the Dead

Lost Souls Series Book 1

by Shiela Stewart

Genre: Paranormal Romance, Supernatural Mystery

Jessica Coltrane is a diehard sceptic who believes ghosts and paranormal activity are nothing more than a figment of an overactive imagination. That is until she finds herself locked inside a haunted house with the enigmatic paranormal investigator C.J. Dowling.

Born with the ability to see and speak to the dead, C.J. Dowling thought investigating a haunted house would be a job like many others. He’s prepared for anything—except smart and sexy Jessica.

Working together in close quarters, C.J. and Jessica discover it isn’t only negative tension between them but sexual as well. Giving in to their desires seems like a good idea until they wake and find the spirits thought otherwise.

They are trapped with the ghost of a child long forgotten, an amorous entity threatening Jessica, and a powder keg of a spine-tingling mystery that might just be better left buried.

Do the characters all come to you at the same time or do some of them come to you as you write?

I have a rough draft of what I want the characters to be before I write them.

What kind of research do you do before you begin writing a book?

For Secrets of the Dead I did a lot of research into the early 1900’s since part of the book takes place in that era. I also research the name and how they work for the equipment used in finding ghosts.

Do you read yourself and if so what is your favorite genre?

Paranormal romance is my go to genre. I also like reading true life and biography stories.

Do you prefer to write in silence or with noise? Why?

I used to need music to get my juices flowing. I have several songs that I played when writing awaken the Demon that helped me get into the darker side of writing. Now, silence is my friend.

Do you write one book at a time or do you have several going at a time?

At one time I had two on the go and editing another series. Today, I had no problem separating each story and character.

Pen or type writer or computer?

I started handwriting all my stories. I still have a box in storage with several stories yet to be published. Now I use the computer.

If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would it be?

Stay in school.

How long on average does it take you to write a book?

Typically it takes me about 2 months to write the story.

Do you believe in writer’s block?

I do, as I’ve suffered from it.
