Although I’ve always been fascinated by the paranormal, I had never read anything in the genre until I picked up the second book in J.R. Ward’s Back Dagger Brotherhood series. Then I was hooked and it seemed only natural to meld my two loves—paranormal and romantic suspense.

Guest Post , 3 Partners in Shopping would like to thank author Tonya Burrows for Guest Posting on our blog today.

The idea for my new release, VISION OF DARKNESS, came from my own unexplainable ghostly encounters. In 2006, I was working the overnight shift in a nursing home that all of us on the staff were convinced was haunted. We’d hear babies crying in the middle of the night when there were no babies anywhere in the building. We’d see shadows moving out of the corners of our eyes, but when we turned to look, nobody was there. The elevator had a mind of its own and one nurse even quit after her cart moved down the hallway by itself. The strangest thing of all—and this held true for every nursing home I’ve ever worked in—our residents would always see children running up and down the hallway shortly before someone passed away.

All of the weirdness at work reawakened my interest in the paranormal and I started binge-watch anything I could find on TV about ghosts. That was when I found Ghost Hunters on Syfy. One episode featured the Saint Augustine, FL lighthouse, and it was so creepy I knew I had to write a story about it. After a few months of research into haunted lighthouses, the idea for Danger Ledge Lighthouse and The Green Lady was born.

So do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever had an encounter? I’d love to hear your stories!

Thanks so much for 3 Partners in Shopping for having me today!

VISION OF DARKNESS

A beacon of light...

Undercover DEA agent Alex Brennan doesn’t believe in the paranormal, despite the exhausting nightmares that reveal things he shouldn’t know. When sleep deprivation causes him to make a horrible mistake on the job, he is driven to find answers. Dreams guide him to a lighthouse in Three Churches, Maine, where he finds an inexplicable and comforting familiarity in the arms of the lighthouse’s beautiful keeper, Pru Maddox.

A whisper of memory…

Deadly misfortune has long plagued Pru’s family, the result of a curse “The Green Lady” placed on the lighthouse. Skeptical, Alex searches for less ghostly explanations, though he can’t deny that the town has had more than its fair share of disappearances, suicides, and accidents. As their passion simmers, Alex digs deeper, and his dreams turn violent, frightening, and very real.

A vision of darkness...

To keep Pru safe, Alex must embrace his abilities and unravel the lighthouse’s mystery. Except someone—or something—wants the past to stay buried...and will do anything to keep it that way.
