I love paranormal TV. Ghost Adventures, Haunted Encounters, Haunted
Collector, even Most Haunted on occasion, although they seem to have been left
behind rather in the technology race. These days crews have all manner of fancy
equipment to communicate with spirits - never mind the basic tape recorders for
EVPs, now we have devices that pick them up in real time! There's something
quite chilling about hearing ghost boxes and Oviluses (Ovilii?) come up with
names and relevant words as shocked team members stare at each other and panic.
And yes, I am aware that many people think the shows are fake. I've
read the online arguments, although frankly some of them make no sense. Some
people believe that if you catch any evidence it must be automatically fake,
and yet they have a rigid belief in Most Haunted which has been caught faking
and yet never seems to get anything good. I like to think I have an open mind,
although there have been many times when I've heard a faint EVP and thought
"Really? You heard something in that blast of crackling?" I just find
them entertaining, and don't think much further than that.
But I decided to go to the lower end of the market when creating
Scare Seekers for Tamar Rising.
Scare Seekers are the epitome of trashy paranormal TV. They have a
huge following, mainly due to the amazing evidence they gather by way of
off-camera fakery. They drive my heroine Tamar nuts with their persistent
assumption that she and her team are frauds. And they distract her mid-seance,
leaving her team-mate Hana possessed by a demon who doesn't want to leave...
Did I have a particular show in mind when I created them? Well,
possibly. But hopefully no show is as annoying and disrespectful as Scare
Seekers. In any event, for every show that's cancelled there seem to be two
more coming to take their place, so it looks like paranormal TV is here to
stay.
And I'll be right there watching.

Tamar Steele’s star is on the rise. Her relationship with boyfriend Jason Bray is blossoming, as is her bond with her spirit guide, the ghost of Jason’s brother Matt, who has been training her in mediumship. And, newly installed as the medium for her crew of paranormal investigators, she is already receiving press attention, which brings her to the notice of Scare Seekers – a paranormal entertainment show keen to film an episode with Tamar’s team.
But when teammate Hana is violently possessed, filming is thrown into disarray. The dark spirit seems to disappear at first, but when a frenzied Hana attacks Tamar on the drive home, Tamar realises that her mediumistic abilities may not be strong enough to fight the demon.
Until one day Tamar discovers her powers are increased by having sex on haunted ground, and finds that maybe she and Jason can save Hana, their team’s reputation, and themselves…

Excerpt:
God, he was good
at this. She could already feel relaxation flowing through her body, followed
by tingles of excitement as his tongue went to work, tormenting every sensitive
spot. Her pleasure mounted, spiralling in her gut as she pushed her hips
forward, aching for more movement, harder, faster, but Jason was still
goingslowly and her breath raced in anticipation of the climax to come.
Tamar moaned,
lacing her fingers into Jason’s hair as he pressed soft kisses to her pussy,
alternating with tender licks until she could barely stand it. Jason slid his fingers
inside her, grazing her sweet spot over and over again—
“Jason!”
Jason’s lips
tightened around her clit, sucking, and Tamar threw back her head and screamed
as the pleasure hit her.
Through the
waves of ecstasy, she heard a loud pop from above her, followed by a sprinkling
sensation on her skin.
“What the fuck?”
she heard Jason say, and Tamar opened her eyes. Her chest and stomach were
covered with shards of glass. Jason was sitting back on his ankles, staring up
in irritated confusion as he brushed fragments out of his hair.
At least, it
looked like he was. The room was in almost complete darkness, broken only by
the bedside lamp and the street light outside the window.
“Did the light
bulb blow?”
“I think it shattered.”
“Jesus.”
Together they
got off the bed to sweep up the pieces of broken bulb, Tamar shaking her head
in bemusement.
Now that had never happened before.
What did that
mean?
