Haunted<\/b><\/h2>\n

Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned<\/i><\/p>\n

Give me your scorned women\u2013jilted brides, protective mothers, vengeful servants. As long as the ghost doing the haunting is female, it\u2019s fair game. She can be trying to keep her husband from finding love again, she could be protecting her children, she could be out to ruin someone\u2019s life in retaliation for a long-standing done-her-wrong. Why is she doomed to remain among the living? What\u2019s her unfinished business? That ghost has a story and I want to know what it is and what she\u2019s doing about it.<\/p>\n

But wait, there\u2019s more. It\u2019s gotta be a romance. Are the ghost-hunters trying to suppress a burning attraction? Is a grieving husband falling for someone new? All I ask is that there\u2019s no banging corpses or ghosts. (What fun would either of those be?)<\/p>\n

    About the Editor:<\/strong>\u00a0Trysh Thompson has written just about every form of non-fiction you can think of\u2013everything from news, movie reviews, magazine columns, marketing hype, software manualls, and was even an editorial assistant on a gardening book no one has ever read (The 7-Minute Organic Garde<\/i>n\u2013see, you never heard of it, have you?). To keep from being slowly and torturously bored to death by her day job, she turned to fiction as a means of escape\u2013reading it, writing it, and editing it. She also edited the geek romance anthology\u00a0Covalent Bonds<\/i>.<\/p>\n
