I'm ecstatic to be part of Hot Paranormal Nights Blog Hop. The hop is
happening from July 25th – 30th so you have plenty of
time to check out all of the other participating authors. I know that everyone likes free cash so I’m
giving away a $5 Amazon Gift Certificate to one lucky randomly drawn commenter at the end of the blog hop.
Fairy tales are
paranormal stories! This concept hit me one day with the force of a wrecking ball. I couldn’t
understand how I had never seen it before. Fairy tales (not so much magic) are so ingrained into our childhood that I never connected them to the paranormal
genre. Sometimes I’m a little slow on the uptake, but the revelation was
refreshing.
Here
I come with my own paranormal book. The past lives in the story give it the
paranormal flair. Sorry, there is no fairy dust, magic shoes or witches in my
book. I do have a villain though. I hope you enjoy it.
Title: Love Through
Time
Author: Nana Prah
Genre: Paranormal
romance
Heat level: Sweet
Publisher: Black Opal
Books
Release date: August 3, 2013 (Just around the corner)
Blurb:
Defending her family – no problem. Recalling past
lives – maybe just a small problem. Taking a chance on love again – well…
Jasmine Gibson has her world turned
upside down when she meets gorgeous Sean Taylor. He’s the first man she’s been
attracted to since her fiancé dumped her two years ago. But when the disturbing
daydreams start, Jasmine begins to fear that her actions in a past life may
have finally caught up with her.
Sean finds it impossible to stay away
from Jasmine even though he can’t shake the inexplicable feeling of betrayal,
simmering deep inside him every time he sees her.
To complicate things, someone is out to
hurt Jasmine and every time she and Sean are together, the police have to be
called. Even if Jasmine can make Sean trust her, the two of them may not stay
alive long enough to enjoy their love this time around.
Excerpt:
She
was coming to terms about their past lives, but he was having trouble just
dealing with her in this one.
“I
must have been a great man in previous life,” Sean said jokingly, but Jasmine’s
expression turned serious as she held onto the doorpost. “Are you all right?
Are you getting lightheaded?”
“No,
I’m fine.”
But
he could tell something was bothering her. “Now you’re holding something back
from me.”
“Do
you believe in past lives?”
“I haven’t thought about it. I’ve seen so much
in my travels around the world that I wouldn’t be surprised if it existed. Do
you?”
“I think it might exist, and the thought about
coming back and making your soul better is very appealing. At the same time it
could be painful, especially if you hurt someone else in a past life and met
them again in another.”
Sean
felt a chill go up his spine. He knew there was something more to this
conversation, but he couldn’t pin point it. He wanted to stay and talk with her
about it, but he had to get back to studying.
He
leaned down and kissed her cheek. It was nothing but a friendly kiss, but he
felt the shock of it straight down to the soles of his feet. Jasmine looked
just as affected as he was.

I remember that Jennifer. I enjoyed it. I could sleep on a tennis ball and not feel it. lol
DeleteI used to love fairy tales and must admit I had forgotten about them. Congratulations on Love Through Time, it's a wonderful story.
ReplyDeleteYou were to busy watching scary things to remember those mild little fairy tales. Thanks Debbie.
DeleteFave fairy tale? I think Beauty & the Beast. There's something about the tortured hero thing...
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't wait for your book to release, Nana! It sounds wonderful.
;)
livrancourt(at)yahoo(dot)com
Thanks Liv. Beauty and the Beast was a good one. The hero brought it upon himself by not being kind in the first place.
DeletePeter Pan - seriously, he can fly!!!!!
ReplyDeletecmucha319 at yahoo dot com
And he played all of the time. That's the life.
DeleteI like THE FROG PRINCE!
ReplyDeletevitajex(at)aol(dot)com
That's a good story, but she had to be one strong woman to kiss a frog, yuck.

Cinderalla is great. I love the adaptation they did with Drew Barrymore, where she took control of the situation. Thanks Tiffany.

Great to be hopping with you!

The only time I have ever seen the story Snow White and Red Rose was in this gigantic book of fairy tales that we used to have. I prefer that story over regular Snow white. Thanks for stopping by.

You are welcome.
DeleteLooking forward to reading this, Nana. I downloaded the ARC today. Thanks a million.
ReplyDeleteI really hope you enjoy it Celestine.
DeleteMy favorite fairytale would be Beauty and the Beast. In this one, they spend time together and actually get to know each other.
ReplyDeletestrive4bst(AT) yahoo(Dot) com
If I were taking a poll of favorite fairy tales, beauty and the beast would be in the lead.
DeleteI do love fairy tales. One of my favorite is the three little pigs. I love all the variations that have been done with this story both on an adult level and in children's books.

Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin. That was a great story.
DeleteI loved the excerpt and the premise behind the story, as well. My favorite fairy tale is probably the "real" version of the 12 Dancing Princesses where the unfortunate prince follows the princesses for 3 nights, each night becoming invisible and breaking off a branch of silver, gold and pure diamonds. It is lovely and lets the underdog win. Thanks for sharing. I truly wish you had offered a copy of your wonderful book! michelle_willms@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this fairy tale. Thanks for sharing. If you win the gift card, you can purchase a copy of my book with that.
DeleteLove the excerpt, I'm looking forward to reading it when its released.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fairy tale is Beauty & the Beast, the whole concept of it can be applied to so many things today.
Good luck with your new book and thanks for participating in the hop so I know to look for it!
