Some Old Lover's Ghost

Helena runs Paranormal Manifestation Services—PMS for short.

When she’s hired by Beth and Marguerite to find out why a ghost is bothering Marguerite, she doesn’t expect to get a crush on Beth…which makes things especially awkward when she learns who the ghost is.

Rainbow Reviews called this short story “unexpectedly romantic [and] heart-wrenching,” and it was nominated for a 2008 Romance Erotica Connection Award for Best F/F Romance Short Story and for a 2010 Gaylactic Spectrum Award for Best Short Fiction.

BONUS: Includes an interview with the author about writing the story, her own paranormal experiences, and more.

“Some Old Lover’s Ghost” originally appeared in Haunted Hearths and Sapphic Shades: Lesbian Ghost Stories (Lethe Press, 2008).
