Wanda S. Paryla was born in Chicago, Illinois, and raised in Central Texas. She received her BA in sociology from Baylor University. With a life split between two very different worlds, Wanda’s experiences transmit through her writing. She resides in Illinois.

From the author:
A little about me on a personal level. I enjoy nature walks, and crispy nights outdoors by a cozy fire. I have a passion for chocolate, and Pepsi is my cheat of choice.

My writing is born out of the things I am passionate about such as: friends, family dinners, and those who would die for me and you because they choose to...the military, police, fire fighters.

I love animals and hate to see any species on the endangered list. I have a special love for horses, tigers, dogs

Also, I journal. I've done it off and on most of my adult life and I find it is a great way to sort out feelings and hammer out ideas. I also work on more than one project at a time, so if I feel I need a break from one story, I can move on to the other until I find inspiration to go back to the other manuscript. I also have older manuscripts and stories around that I tend to edit when I'm stuck. Keeps the mind busy, and who know...I might revive an old story. This way, I can always be working on my writing in some way.(less)

I think my appreciation of them comes more from Margaret Mitchell's ability to create a stong, enigmatic characters, more so than from a romantic point of view. Out of every fictional couple I've read, or seen on the screen, I don't think anyone has beat them yet. Not my opinion anyway.(less)

I really enjoyed this book. It reminds me of those simple old-timey mysteries, but with the paranormal thrown in at the forefront.

I realize that this is book number 1 in the series and was written some time ago, but there are some sentences that coul
