Toni's grandmother is a psychopath.
Her sister is a ghost.
Her boyfriend is possessed.
And she has no idea who she is.
Summer vacation is ruined when Toni's twin sister, Sara, dies.
Instead of walking into the light, Sara stomps directly away from it,
totally pissed she didn't die in her skinny jeans. That's when Sara
finds out their grandmother has a gift for talking to dead people, and
two spritely spirits and a nasty soothsayer named Bartholomew are all
working their angle with Toni's future caught in between.
Dear old Granny's determined not to be the last necromancer in the
family, but with the death of her promiscuous granddaughter, her only
option is Toni, who must remain a virgin until her eighteenth birthday
without any ghostly interference from Sara.
Sara's not having any of it; especially since the guy Granny's
conspiring with is the same guy that assisted in Sara's demise. Toni
needs help! But protecting her sister is complicating all the ghostly
fun on the other side!
Can death stop a twin? Maybe not, but Granny knows Dead Girls Never Shut Up.
Let the evil cackling commence!
Today Antoinette Maestro (Granny), the villain of Susan
Stec’s novel,
is my guest.
1. What is your ultimate goal?
I'm a necromancer and
my ultimate goal has always had the best interest of my granddaughters--front
and center--to carry on the family gift of talking to the dead. Unfortunately,
my younger grandchild was a casualty early on, so my only option was Toni, my
daughter's oldest twin.
2. What makes you so driven to accomplish this goal?
Well, that's a simple
question. When I die it will the end the family's legacy if Toni does not accept
the gift of necromancy.
3. If you could choose anyone from the literary world as
your partner in crime, who would you choose and why?
Why, Edgar Allen Poe,
of course. The man knew the underworld, the value of my gift, and with his
knowledge and assistance I could have stayed at my condo in Florida, and sipped sherry and
watching the sun set on the Atlantic. Then again, with my ability to conjure
ghosts, we would have made quite a team; Poe and I.
4. Describe yourself in three words or less.
Focused. Capable.
Determined. (I really should add OLD)
From USA Today Bestselling Author
Susan Stec,
I
love laughing with my daughters, class B scary movies, fine cuisine and
hamburgers from Wendy's. I'm addicted to electronics, dark chocolate,
vintage eyeglass frames, warm socks, and would kill for a really good
cup of cappuccino. I'm a wannabee gamer--Zelda is my fave, but I'll play
Nintendo with my grandson for hours.
My favorite all-time
television series are Twin Peaks and Dark Shadows. Best movies ever,
1943 A Christmas Carol and Soylent Green.
There isn't just one
thing I'm passionate about. I'm married to a wonderful man, have two
adult daughters, three grandsons, and three dogs. I live on fifty acres
and hunt and fish. I will get up in the middle of the night to listen to
the coyote sing, sit under a tin roof in the middle of a rain storm,
stare at barren trees and revel in the white show surrounding them. I
sew, do stained glass, paint watercolors, make jewelry, but most of all,
I write. I write because I have to, and because it amuses me to live
vicariously through my characters.
One's real life is so often the life that one does not lead~~Oscar Wilde
