Guest Blog With Elizabeth Black

Today we have erotic romance author Elizabeth Black joining us for a guest blog. Thanks for joining us today, Elizabeth.


Thanks for having me today, Roxanne.

Today I'm going to chat about ghosts. Are you bored with your very human partner? Find a horny ghost! You'd be in good company.

Here's something you don't read every day. The headline was surreal: Two Women Report Ghost Has Been Having Sex With Them.

Two women in Washington State in the U. S. claimed that a ghost " has been placing sensors on their bodies and visiting them in their house […] They said that the ghost has been having sexual intercourse with them."

I swear I'm not making this up.

I had heard of women claiming to have been attacked by ghosts, but it was surreal to see such a matter-of-fact article about it in a local newspaper. Have you ever seen the movie "The Entity"? It's a 1981 flick about a woman who was repeatedly raped by a ghost in front of her husband and children. The movie was slammed by critics when it first came out because it was rather explicit, but it became a cult favorite. It was supposedly based on the real life astral rapes of Carla Moran. Whether Moran actually exists has been up for debate for years. I've seen a reality show that supposedly interviewed her and had shown pictures of the astral being that had raped her, but the jury is still out on whether or not the woman actually exists. The movie was remade in Japan and is slated to be released in 2009. I'm curious to see it. Can't wait until it comes out on DVD.

It would probably be exciting to have consensual sex with a ghost, but being raped by a ghost would be horrifying. First off, you can't see the attack coming. Ghosts tend to be invisible. At the same time, a playful ghost could make otherworldly sex lots of fun. I often include ghosts in some of my erotic paranormal romance stories. In my short free story "The Storm", the ghost of a pirate returns to Gloucester, Massachusetts, bent on revenge. His appearance during a nor'easter is rather frightening, especially since he is not a nice fellow. On the other hand, in my new novel, "The Haunting of the Sandpiper Inn", a rather randy ghost haunts the inn in question, spying upon my main character Martha Ellis McKay as she undresses. He's able to do this because he remains invisible while she's puttering about in her room. He does eventually 'fess up, and she gets quite annoyed with him, but he's harmless so she isn't too upset. This ghost manages to help her solve the mystery of the Sandpiper Inn, so he isn't completely useless.

So, not only do ghosts make great characters for sexy fiction, they really do like to have sex with humans, if that Washington State case is any indication. Bored with your very human partner? Find a horny ghost! You'd be in good company.

BLURB

After getting caught yet again with another man's wife, Robbie walked to Salt Island from the shore to nurse his wounded ego and his wounded face. He falls into a drunken sleep and awakens to find himself trapped on the island since tide came in - and a nor'easter is coming. He has to get off of this island before the storm hits. To make matters worse, the ocean is glowing an iridescent maroon. That could only mean one thing - an appearance of notorious pirate, Captain Samuel Black, and his ship, the Prospero. Robbie calls his best friend, Ian, and his former girlfriend, Kate, to get him off this island. Kate is now Ian's wife, but Robbie still carries a torch for her. Will Ian and Kate get Robbie off that island before the storm and the pirate find him first?

Reviews:

"This is a rather gripping read...The relationship between the characters builds up quickly, culminating in some heavy sex scenes. I did enjoy this book and felt like I was on one of those ghost investigation programmes...This book is definitely worth a read if you like hot and steamy mixed with horror and hauntings."

"I loved this story by Ms. Black. I am a huge fan of her writing and I thoroughly enjoy her haunting storylines and characters. She developed a fun storyline that immediately pulled me in from the very first page and entertained me until the very last sentence. I felt as if I was walking along with Ellis and the GHOST team trying to debunk the hauntings that The Sandpiper Inn seemed to be experiencing. This is a great story that doesn’t just have to be read at Halloween. If you love ghost stories and love to read about haunted places, this is definitely one you must add to your library. Ms. Black did a wonderful job with this story and I can’t wait to read her next one. You’re definitely going to enjoy this story. Don’t pass this one up!"

Blurb: The Haunting of the Sandpiper Inn

While psychic Martha Ellis McKay may the the Gift,a skeptic's heart beats in her breast. She has seen her share of fakes, and she does not take kindly to them. Evenworse is when she is accused of being one. So imagine her chagrin when she expects to spend a quiet weekend at the Sandpiper Inn working on a book about haunted houses only to meet a ghost hunting team with its own resident skeptic, who greets Ellis with a jaundiced eye.

She has met her match in both getting to the bottom of the haunting of the Sandpiper Inn and proving to skeptic John “Beck” Becker that she is the real deal. The problem is that Beck and Ellis have more serious worries. The Sandpiper Inn holds a dark secret that threatens to destroy them both. What awaits them as they delve into the history of the Sandpiper Inn? And will their investigations bring them closer together or drive them further apart?
