Q&A with Nicole Rae discussion

Sightless Spirits is an upcoming release of mine that will be out at the end of this year. It's a young adult paranormal read that adults will enjoy as well. If you like ghost stories make sure you add this one to your To Read shelf.

The solitude of death and the responsibility of the living....

After a wicked car accident, Julia's brother Aiden walked away unscathed, while she was left in the dark. Not all spirits cross over to the afterlife, willingly. Some are violently torn from this world before their time, left to search for a human with an aura, who can bridge the divide...

A year ago, Julia learned how precious her sense of sight was, when she was left to balance between adjusting to blindness and discovering her ability to communicate with the dead. Miraculously, she can see spirits and is the only one who can help them, whether she wants to or not. Unable to block out their pleas, she discovers that the one, who killed them isn't finished killing and won't stop until he's had his fill.

When evil upsets the balance, Julia must harness her gift to set things right. Can she learn to accept her new life and lead the lost souls to peace? Will she continue her descent into the dark, rejoin the living, or become one of the lost souls she's attempting to help?

What do you think?

Hmmmmm.....

I love the idea of this book because it's a real coming of age story mingled with paranormal. Julia in the beginning of this story is still in the extreme bitter, angry at the world time frame of dealing with her disability. She is coupled with a cast of wonderful people to help her figure out her life and also in trying to solve the mystery of the evil that has ripped the life from many spirits much to soon before their time.

I love that the main character is blind, but she once had her eyesight. You really pull from your own experiences and I think people will be transfixed.

The main reason I decided to do it is because even though there are books with blind characters, you don't see them that often. (pun intended lol) I love the paranormal genre and admit that in this genre especially, it is rarely done. So I figured why not make a blindy the star of the show in a great ghost story.
