Heroes Live Forever

by Chris Karlsen

Elinor Hawthorne has inherited a house haunted by the ghosts of two medieval knights, Basil Manneville and Guy Guiscard. Basil is the man of her dreams, her knight in shining armor. She falls in love with him and he with her. Basil soon realizes she needs to live a normal life, a happy life with a mortal.

A lifetime later fate intervenes. Basil, still in love with Elinor, is told her spirit lives on in a young woman and he is given another chance at life to find her. 


Excerpt:

At the top of the stairs, goose bumps suddenly dotted Elinor’s skin and the hair on her arms stood on end. She glanced back, but didn’t see anything strange, or more to the point, Lucy’s ghost knight.

Author Bio:

I was born and raised in Chicago. My father was a history professor and my mother was, and is, a voracious reader. I grew up with a love of history and books.

My parents also love traveling, a passion they passed onto me. I wanted to see the places I read about, see the land and monuments from the time periods that fascinated me. I’ve had the good fortune to travel extensively throughout Europe, the Near East, and North Africa.

I am a retired police detective. I spent twenty-five years in law enforcement with two different agencies. My desire to write came in my early teens. After I retired, I decided to pursue that dream.

I currently live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband, four rescue dogs and a rescue horse.

Hi Anonymous,
Yes, aren't good ghost stories fun. Reincarnation was often a topic at my family dinner table growing up. My dad being a history professor spoke of ancient cultures and many things.

Hi JB,

Thank you for the kind words. The title actually came from a line in one of my favorite Cher songs, "Song for the Lonely." The lyric goes: When heroes fall in love or war, they live forever." I thought that was a great line.

Hi Laura,
The sequel, Journey in Time, is about the best friends of the hero and heroine in Heroes Live Forever. They are caught in a time warp and transported back to medieval England. There's a trailer for both books on my website.
