Matchmaking Ghost

by Joy Eileen

What do you do when you die before setting up your stubborn son with the woman who was practically made for him?Carl Grant had one mission in get his hard-headed son Aiden to stop bickering and start swooning over Mariela, the sharp-tongued bartender who made Carl's life a whole helluva lot brighter. But just as sparks were about to fly (again), fate pulled the plug.Now Carl’s stuck in the afterlife with unfinished business and a front-row seat to the world's slowest enemies-to-lovers saga. Aiden and Mariela argue like it’s their job. But underneath the snark and side-eyes, there’s chemistry hot enough to haunt a whiskey barrel.He might be new to ghosting in the spiritual sense, but Carl’s not about to let a little thing like death stop him. Matchmaking from beyond the grave? Challenge accepted.

About the author

I live in sunny southern California, and unless I am pulled out of here kicking and screaming (or I am offered an obscene amount of money) I don't ever see myself leaving.
When I am not enjoying the weather, I am stuck in a dark little room rubbing a naked person, and only to be let out every hour on the hour (or if you prefer a simpler term, I am a massage therapist.)
I have had many jobs from working at AT&T, a casino, and even Microsoft, before I started massage. I enjoy talking to people, and love listening to their stories as I feel everyone has a story to tell (some I could live without ever hearing, but who am I to judge.) Massage also allows me time to get my stories in order. When a client falls asleep, my mind will wander creating scenes that I quickly jot down on any available surface until I am able to get in front of my handy dandy laptop.
I live in a chaotic house full of love, and I wouldn't want it any other way. I do enjoy the quiet time when everyone is asleep, and I am able to write with Rock'n'Roll blaring in my ears of course. When I am not touching naked people, or stuck in front of my laptop I love to read. Reading is what inspired me into actually leashing myself to my laptop in order to create my books. I love getting lost in a book, and have been known to fall in love with characters, and hope to invoke that same emotion for my readers.
Other tidbits you may want to know . . . I workout with my niece three times a week where she makes me flip tractor tires, and beat up ship rope (she may be evil.) My favorite color is green, and my favorite number is 8. I love music, especially anything from the rock persuasion, from classic rock like Pink Floyd to my new favorite Halestorm.
