Title: Ghostly Interference (Book 1 White Rune Series)
Author: Jan Sikes
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Book Blurb:
Jag Peters works hard to keep his karma clean and his life peaceful.
Then a near miss with a red Harley leads him straight into a world he never expected—and to Rena Jett, a fierce beauty who meets life with armor instead of open arms.
Rena has survived loss, danger, and heartbreak. She doesn’t need a soft-spoken stranger complicating things. But when Jag reveals he can see the ghost of her brother, everything she believes is shaken.
Her brother’s last gift, a rune stone etched with the “happily ever after” symbol (Wunjo), may hold more power than she imagines.
As Jag and Rena are pulled closer by fate—and perhaps something magical—they must face the hardest truth of all:
Sometimes love finds us when we least want it… and exactly when we need it most.
Excerpt:
Tires squealed against rugged asphalt, mere inches from his car, jolting Jag Peters from his thoughts. He stared in horror and braced for impact. At the last second, he jerked the wheel to the left, sending him into the next lane.
A candy-apple red Harley skidded to avoid a collision. The rider struggled to maintain control as the powerful bike fishtailed.
“Watch where you’re goin,’ you crazy bastard! You nearly killed me.” With that, the rider flipped Jag off and roared down the street.
Jag’s heart pounded. The white-knuckle grip on the steering wheel did little to still his shaking hands. Where had the motorcycle come from? He hadn’t seen it when he’d entered the intersection.
But, to be honest, work consumed his thoughts—especially the new project his boss had assigned to him. Another troubling issue had him preoccupied as well.
No question about it, he was in the wrong. And since his biggest goal in life was to keep his karma slate clean, he had no choice. He had to find the biker and apologize for putting him in danger.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he turned in the direction the bike had disappeared. Using a basic meditation technique his mother had taught him as a young child, he forced his breath to slow and calm the thumping of his heart. He might easily have killed the rider, and that thought unnerved him.
He crept along, up one street and down another. A few blocks down, he spotted a group of Harleys parked in front of a small corner pub. Sure enough, there sat the candy-apple red Harley with a shiny black helmet dangling from the handlebars.
With his heart lodged in his throat, he circled twice before finding the courage to take a parking space. Long seconds passed before he could pry his hands from the steering wheel and open the car door. He took one more deep breath, swallowed hard, and headed toward the entrance of O’Malley’s Irish Pub.
He hated confrontation almost more than he hated the taste of whiskey.
Inside, he slid onto a bar stool and surveyed the room. Leather-clad bikers yelled to be heard over ZZ Top blasting from the jukebox. Bottles clinked as the bartender chunked them into an empty bin at the end of the bar. The air thick with cigarette smoke, Jag blinked to keep his eyes from watering. Two burly men at a pool table slammed the balls with a resounding clap.
The bartender raised his voice to be heard over the noise. “What’ll it be, mister?”
“I’ll have a mineral water, please,” Jag yelled.
“This ain’t no damn country club, kid. Ain’t you a little out of your white-collar territory?”
“Sorry. Give me a draft beer.” Dammit! What had he been thinking to come in here?
“Humph.” The bartender held a heavy mug under the tap, filled it, and slammed it on the counter.
Jag continued to canvas the room, wondering which of the leather-clad group was the one he’d almost hit.
After a sip of the bitter ale, he stood and walked toward the faded restroom sign, hoping to go unnoticed. He had to finish what he came here for and get the hell out!
Just as he turned the corner toward the door, he collided with a stunning dark-haired woman who wore a scowl to match her hair color.
“Excuse you.” Sarcasm dripped from her tongue.
“Oh, sorry,” Jag muttered. “I wasn’t looking.”
“Yeah, well, that makes twice today I’ve nearly been run over by some bastard that wasn’t looking.” The jukebox lapsed into a brief silence as she stomped toward the bar, her black motorcycle boots thudding against the wood floor.
Stunned, Jag turned slowly back to the restroom. It was a girl. He’d almost run over a girl.

What makes your featured book a must-read?
This is a book of opposites. My original working title was “When Two Worlds Collide” as that describes it perfectly. The paranormal aspect of the story enhances the relationship between the two main characters, as it directly impacts their lives in ways that change them both forever. I also introduce readers to Runes, an ancient divination tool.

And now, this author can’t put down the pen. She continues to write fiction in a variety of genres, and has published many award-winning short stories and novels. She is an active blogger, a member of the Story Empire group, loves to support indie artists (both literary and musical) and is the grandmother of five beautiful souls.
