Unexpectedly, it launched into the first line of one of Jude\u2019s most favourite songs. Jude once again sank onto the bed, his legs refusing to carry him with the shock of this second apparition.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Is this really you?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>For a moment, Jude\u2019s second otherworldly visitor abandoned his song and remained silent, motionless, allowing Jude to take a good, long look. The sideburns, the nose, the defined chin, the round glasses were clearly visible despite the spirit\u2019s transparent appearance. Everything about this figure was familiar, yet nothing was quite as it should have been. It was as though Jude was looking at a hologram, a distorted, stretched vision where nothing quite fitted together.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Jude found his voice. \u2018Oh my God, it <i>is <\/i>you!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Excitement made his exclamation strong and clear. The figure flinched at the sudden burst of noise, but Jude ploughed on. \u2018This is\u2026this is totally unreal. I mean, imagine this\u2014here\u2019s me in my bedroom, and there\u2019s you, come to visit me.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019m not who you think you see,\u2019 the apparition interrupted. \u2018I\u2019m the Ghost of Christmas Past.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><strong>Inspiration for Spirits of Christmas\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b>Writing this novella was a bit of an inevitability for me, all things considered. If you don\u2019t already know me, you have to understand that I simply love rock music. Rock musicians are like Viagra for my soul. I\u2019m also a sucker for romance and a good-old fashioned happy ending. Moreover, I <strong><i>love<\/i><\/strong> the Christmas season: the lights, the sweets, the laughter. Combining all those things ~ rock, romance, and Christmas ~ was one of the most delightful writing projects of my career so far!<\/p>\n<p>The idea for this book came to me the very night after I launched my second book, Sophie\u2019s Run, in February of this year. I was hyped up with excitement, I had finished writing my third book and was waiting for publisher edits, and I had already planned my fourth full-length novel. I was utterly and completely unable to sleep with everything that was going on, and quite unexpectedly, the whole story was in my head. Charles Dickens\u2019 <i>A Christmas Carol <\/i>is one of my favourite Christmas stories both in the original and its many varied adaptations. I suddenly thought\u2026 why not bring it into the rock\u2019n\u2019roll domain?<\/p>\n<p>My wonderful husband, Jon, was somewhat taken aback when I presented him with this plan the following morning.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019m going to write a Christmas novella,\u2019 I said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018But you\u2019ve got another book launch in September, and you\u2019ve planned your fourth book already\u2014how\u2019s this going to fit in?\u2019 he responded enthusiastically, if pragmatic.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019ll figure it out.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>And so I did. It took me just over a week to write the first draft in May 2013, and another few weeks here and there to tweak, fine-tune and polish it over the following months. But here it is. <b>Spirits of Christmas<\/b>.
