    According to the Romance Writers of America, romantic suspense is the most popular sub-genre for readers who love a love story.

    Not only ghosts, but psychic powers can be linked to the ancient Celts’ celebration of Samhain, or Halloween. Two of my favorite subjects to write about. No wonder it’s my favorite holiday.

    On the surface, this question seems simple enough. There are people who claim to have had sightings or other communicative interactions with the dead, and believe fervently that the events truly occurred.
