BLURB supplied by author
You can’t kill something that’s already
dead. Unless of course you’re George.
There are ghosts and demons that wander
among the living; they do not haunt in the traditional sense. Instead, they
plague the living with diseases and physical deformities, and once a ghost
finds its victim it will haunt them for a lifetime.
A mild illness brings on the dreams,
which trigger the suppressed memories, which in turn allows George to see
ghosts. Along with this new sight into a realm unknown to most, George
instinctually knows that he must kill the ghosts. Of course none of this makes
sense, but he cannot control the urge to kill when he encounters them, because
deep inside, he knows this is what he must do. Another thing he knows; if he
kills a ghost, a person nearby is suddenly healed.
His acceptance of this newfound ability
to see and kill ghosts becomes his obsession, but it is also destroying his
life and threatening his sanity. George seeks the help of Phil, a known
paranormal expert, who briefly explains his new ability, but also warns him
about a dangerous man who is looking for a powerful ghost killer, and
insinuates that George is that
powerful ghost killer. Soon after, George meets Billy, a young woman with a
brazen and unlikable personality. However, she is another ghost killer, and
that makes her someone he needs to know. With the help of Billy and Phil,
George looks for answers as to how and why he’s become what he is and who and
what the dangerous man wants. His quest for knowledge leads him to new friends
and allies, but also to enemies he could never have imagined, enemies that
killed his mother and grandparents and now want him.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
What is your name,
where were you born and where do you live now?
My name is Margaret A. Millmore, I was
born and raised in Southern California and moved to San Francisco in 1992,
where I currently reside with my husband and two cats.
Did you always
want to be a writer? If not what did you want to be?
When I was younger I wanted to be a
writer, but life has a way of sending you in different directions and I ended
up having a long and fulfilling career in the commercial real estate industry.
After I left that field, I began to pursue my writing.
What is the name
of your latest book, and if you had to summarize it in less than 20 words what
would you say?
My latest book is called What Haunts Me
(Ghost Killer – Book 1); it’s the first in a supernatural/paranormal thriller
series about a ghost killer.
Who is your
publisher? or do you self publish?
My first novel and my first series were
published with World Castle Publishing, my second novel and my newest novel are
self-published.
What can we expect
from you in the future? ie More books of the same genre? Books of a
different genre?
My main focus going forward will be on
the What Haunts Me series, ideally I’d like to produce a new book every 6 to 8
months, a very lofty goal, and in reality, I’ll probably produce them at yearly
intervals.
Would you ever ask
a reviewer to change their review if it was not all positive about your
book/books?
Never! I think a review should be honest
and given freely and without compensation (monetary or for a favorable review
of another author’s work). There are certainly trolls out there (I had one
reviewer slam me because my character’s name reminded them of a movie character
they didn’t like…) and I think readers are intelligent enough to take the
“troll” reviews with a grain of salt. But if the review is honest and well
supported, then that’s just how it is and an author should learn from those
comments.
How do you come up
with characters names and place names in your books?
The characters seem to name themselves.
Honestly, that’s just how it feels. I start working on them and suddenly, from
somewhere, I don’t know where though, they have a name, it’s very mysterious…
Almost all my books are based here in San Francisco, although my series, The
Four, is all over the globe, but the places are real and I researched them all
to try and portray them as realistically as possible.
What do you do to
unwind and relax? Do you have a hobby?
I read a great deal,
every day in fact. But I also enjoy certain TV shows on a weekly basis (Haven,
Sleepy Hollow, Resurrection, the list goes on…) and I love to travel.
Do you think
ebooks will ever totally replace printed books?
I don’t think ebooks will totally
replace printed books, but I do think they’ll end up with the majority of the
market-share. When e-readers first came out, I really fought it, but as a
voracious reader, I soon realized that it was so much more practical. I still
buy the occasional printed book, especially if it’s from an author that I adore
(I collect Ray Bradbury and Stephen King books…) and I have a pretty extensive
library, but these days, 95% of the books I read are on my e-reader.
Did you read a lot
at school and write lots of stories or is being a writer something newer in
your life?
When I was a kid, my absolute favorite thing
to do on Saturday was to go to the library, I’d take out as many books as my
parents would allow. My father was an avid reader as well, so he’d often take
me. I started writing stories back in those days, but I let it slip and didn’t
really write much until later in life, now I’m constantly coming up with story
ideas and getting them on paper (well computer, but you catch my drift).
Are there any New
Authors you are interested in for us to watch out for? and Why should we watch
out for them?
There are some fabulous Indie authors
out there, I’m not sure how new these people are to the industry, but I just
love their work and would encourage everyone to check them out: Wayne Zurl, Tom
Winton, Caroline Arnold, Nick Russell, Jen Blood, Wendy Cartmell and oh so many
others. I’ve read just about everything
these authors have produced, they are all immensely talented and entertaining.
They all write in different genres and styles and all but Tom Winton write
series books (if the first book in a series hooks me, I have to buy the rest
and read them until I’ve exhausted the series, it’s a bit depressing, it always
leaves me wanting more…).
