A GHOST'S SHADOW
“Her ghost must watch his shadow kill his lover…”
An exhilarating romance and thriller novel which tells the story of the immortal Viking, Freyja Ragnarsdottir’s fight against her irredeemable fate – her dead lover's doppelganger bringing her death. With two love stories told in one, the reader gets to recognize Freyja’s present with ex CIA agent, Mason Harding, by reading of her past with Chicago psychiatrist, Clarence Luther. With themes of Norse Mythology, lust, and heartbreak, the reader must pay close attention to understand the harrowing life of Freyja Ragnarsdottir and how she dances with doomed passion in this meditation on love and betrayal.
"This story has its flaws, but it has its charm too, and maybe it’s even grown on me. Debuts aren’t meant to be perfect, and neither are the stories we tell. The cracks are what make them worth remembering. At its core, A Ghost’s Shadow is about refusing to let go and finding beauty in holding on, even when you shouldn't."

Meet Freyja Ragarsdottir
"She was an immortal being. Her days were harrowing and tedious, a cycle of misery raining down on her with no remorse. She had grown up understanding life and its unpredictability—how it changes with the seasons and becomes easier with time—but the thing about time is that it’s never-ending, and eventually life becomes a rare occasion for surprises. Freyja Ragnarsdottir was born to die, and she had no choice but to keep living, so live she did."
She carried absence like it was the only thing that ever touched her.
Meet Clarence Luther
"He worked tirelessly to understand the minds of broken souls, of outcasts in society. He offered benevolence and sympathy when no other could. At his best, he was wise and kind. At his worst, he was merciless, and his own self-contempt would cause him to come across as insensitive and apathetic."
Damaged goods.
Meet Mason Harding
"She felt no fear for the man's warning and her eyes landed on the familiar face. She had known his face, and yet, she did not know him. A complete, absolutely, and entirely, un-stranger."
He’s a good man, though his goodness lives at a depth most won’t risk drowning for.
Meet Elric Salverson
"His eyes found hers again, and she wished he felt misery and pain without the connection to his progeny; she wished he felt something for witnessing her suffering. But he couldn’t. The only pain he felt was the effect of being her sire. Every ounce of true humanity in him had left his body."
Humanity is a noose; he hung himself with it.
