Free Ghostly Realm - Not Even Death Could Separate Them by Cindy J. Kelley

Chapter One
     
    Abigail sat at her desk concentrating on the last paragraph of her newest novel, “The Pirate’s Lady by Abigail Kincaid”. She glanced at the clock on her desk and knew she had at least twenty minutes before Mark came to pick her up for their date. She didn’t exactly care for the opera that he invited her to go to, but it was easier to go along with whatever plans Mark made for them. It was easier than to listen to his lectures about how she needed to get out more and have fun. It wasn’t exactly her idea of having fun but he rarely liked her suggestions and she was willing to make the best of it as she always did.
    She reread the last couple of paragraphs she had typed earlier in her novel and then wrote the last paragraph. Sylvia never thought it was possible to feel such a strong love for another human being but she did. She would give her life for David, her pirate love. She would sell her soul to the devil himself to always be right here in his arms as she was now. The ships crew could be heard by the two lovers as they readied the ship to sail. David and Sylvia didn’t know what new adventures they would face but they knew they would face them together, forever until the end of time. The End. “Finished!” Abigail said with a big smile. She breathed a sigh of relief. She saved her writing program on a CD and decided she’d mail it to her publisher the next morning.
    Abigail couldn’t remember a time when she didn’t fantasize about living in the day in age when there were pirates. She always held a fascination for pirates particularly. When she was a young teenager she read every pirate romance novel she could get her hands on. She wasn’t sure where the obsession came from, she only knew that she loved the era and she loved the romantic idea of being captured by a pirate and falling in love and living happily ever after.
    She wrote her first novel when she was nineteen years old. She smiled as she recalled the title. “The Pirate’s Lure by Abigail Kincaid”. That was over ten years ago. She got extremely lucky and found a publisher that was interested in her book and she sold over a million copies. She had written six novels since then including the one she just finished. 
    Abigail went into the kitchen and fixed herself a cup of coffee. She carried it into the living room and sat down and sipped on it. She sat there lost in her thoughts about her latest book and sighed wistfully. Oh, how I wish I could have a pirate lover like in my books! She thought as she took another sip of her coffee. She giggled to herself at her lusty thoughts.
    She thought about Mark and her relationship with him and frowned. They had met a year earlier at one of her book signings. She thought of how hard of a time she gave him when he stepped up to the table she was sitting at. He held her book in his hands and handed it to her to sign. But he wouldn’t let go of it when she reached out to take it from him. How arrogant! She had thought at the time. She tugged on the book and he said, “I’ll let you sign it if you give me your phone number.” That should have been clue number one, how arrogant he was. But at the time, she really had no clue. And besides, his smile warmed her heart and she couldn’t help but be attracted to his good looks and confidence. She laughed out loud at his audacity then wrote her phone number on a piece of paper and handed it to him. Only then did he release the book so she could sign it.
    Abigail glanced at the clock on her livingroom wall. Mark was almost an hour late. She suspected for awhile that he was cheating on her and she furrowed her eyebrows as she thought about it. She took another sip of her coffee then sat it down on the end table next to her. Her cell phone started to ring and she jumped up and ran to her diningroom table where it was sitting. She flipped the phone open and put it to her ear.
    “Hello?” She said in a breathless voice.
    “Abigail? Hi, I just
