Often times, when I read romance novels, the romance tends to happen between two people, or a person and an immortal, or two immortals (which are all great). But with my novel, I wanted to approach the romance from an angle that I haven’t commonly experienced or seen: a romance between a person and a spirit, and whether or not the idea of a connection with a spirit can fulfill a person’s emotional needs based on love and loss. I also wanted to explore the darker side of desperation and what we as human beings tend to hang onto when we lose someone; that sense of longing, of always wanting the person back, and the constant search to fill the hole in our heart that I think in the end, can never truly be filled in the same way again.
