Coming June 2026
Paranormal Sightings
In the past, my publisher, BWL Publishing, has brought out the Canadian Historical Brides Collection and the Canadian Historical Mystery Collection. There are twelve books in each Collection, each one set in a province or territory of Canada. Starting this year and continuing into 2026 and 2027, BWL Publishing is publishing the Paranormal Canadiana Collection.
I chose the Yukon for each Collection and wrote Romancing the Klondike for the first and Sleuthing the Klondike for the second. I am now researching and writing Haunting the Klondike for the third.
As far as I know, I have never seen a ghost. However, I did live in a haunted house, although without my knowledge. When my husband and I and my brother and sister-in-law first moved to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island we bought a house that had been converted into a duplex. My sister-in-law told me that she was continually seeing a man coming and going from their side. I saw no one on our side.
When I returned to Alberta to visit family and friends I described where our place was to a friend. She began asking questions about it and said that a friend of hers had lived in that house years earlier. She also asked me if I had seen the ghost who occasionally wandered through the house there. I said no, but my sister-in-law had.
My friend said a man had died in that house and her friend had seen his ghost often while living there. I wondered if that was the same man who my sister-in-law was seeing.
I’m not sure if the reason I did not encountered that ghost nor any other ghosts in my life is because I don’t believe in them or because I have been lucky. So I have nothing personal on which to base my novel. I will have to do it all by research.
However, if a ghost is reading this, this is not an invitation to come to me and tell me your story or start moving things around to prove you are real.
