Today’s guest is Jami Gray, author of Hunted by the Past (PSY-IV Teams 1). I asked Jami for Four Fun Facts about herself and this is what she had to say:

What you didn’t know about Jami Gray:

1. I don’t share well. Let’s be honest, after growing up in a large family, I refuse to share my things. I spent years either hiding my stuff so my siblings wouldn’t “borrow” my stuff, or just not getting it until I left for college so I wouldn’t have to worry about it. When I first went off to college, my first roommate only lasted about a month, then never came back. (Not because of me, but whatever was happening in her life). That was my first taste of not having to share my room with another living being. After that, if I couldn’t afford my own place, I had to at least have my own room. I really worried about taking on my Knight in Slightly Muddy Armor, but the whole marriage thing made it different. Kind of.

2. I love music, but I can’t sing. Not to say I don’t—in the shower by myself, in a room by myself, in the car by myself—see the pattern here? I sang in choirs and in musicals through high school, but after trying out for a college a cappella group and watching the poor choirmaster try not to wince, I gave up. Instead, I shoved my musical love into instruments until right before I was married. Then I decided to focus all my creativity into my writing.

3. I make up words. Unfortunately, I’ve passed this fun little quirk along to my Prankster Duo. It took me forever to get them to say diagonally correctly instead of sounding like “Di-a-gon-All-ey”. Here’s the deal—when I first started school and we had those lovely phonics classes (yes, I’m dating myself), I could hear the words correctly in my head, but trying to get them out of my mouth with the right sound never worked. So I had to teach myself to stop, think about what I wanted to say, then carefully say it. The other half of this problem is when your brain works much faster than your mouth and the words just tumble out in a chaotic mess. It’s also the main reason I drifted to theater. Enunciation is king on the stage.

4. I can’t watch horror films. Oh, I can hear your gasps of disbelief from here, but seriously—I can’t watch horror flicks. Especially the gory ones. I know it’s not real, but it still icks me out. Now I can read some dark stuff, even write it, no problem. Heck, my favorite TV channel is Discovery ID and their true crime stuff. Yet, somehow my BFF and I stumbled into Paranormal Activity (the first one) and unwittingly sat down. I spent two and half weeks sleeping with the damn lights on. Drove my Knight nuts.

Jamie’s books is an exciting paranormal romantic suspense. Check it out below:

Blurb for Hunted by the Past (PSY-IV Teams 1):Sometimes death is the only way to out run the past…

A reluctant psychic who can relive the past, a man well versed in keeping secrets, and a psychopathic killer enter a deadly game where the past determines the future.

Changing the past is an impossibility ex-Marine, Cynthia “Cyn” Arden, understands all too well. Struggling in the aftermath of a botched mission, which cost her two teammates, her military career, and a fledgling relationship, she’s brought home by a panicked phone call. The psychic killer behind her nightmares has escaped military custody to hunt down the remaining teammates, one by one. Next on his murderous list–Cyn. Her only chance at survival is to master the psychic ability she’s spent years denying.

The killer’s game brings her face to face with the one person guaranteed to throw her off kilter—the unsettling and distracting man she left behind, Kayden Shaw. Once she believed he’d stand by her side, until he chose his job and his secrets over her. A choice that’s left the scars of the past etched deep on her mind and heart.

To survive this twisted game, Cyn must risk trusting her heart and accepting who and what she is, or lose not only her life, but the man she loves.

Excerpt:

Behind me, the sound of the door being shoved flat against the wall jerked my attention back to the entryway. Cold sweat erupted down my spine.

The man strong-arming my door stood at least six two and he wasn’t selling cookies. A black T-shirt outlined broad shoulders and a heavy chest, explaining why my brilliant plan of knocking him back through the doorway had been destined for failure.

My mind took in details, trying to put the pieces together. Brown hair, thick and shaggy, framed dark eyes in a startling savage face. Still reeling from using my stupid ability, I couldn’t make the picture stick, but a niggling sense of familiarity pecked at my mind. Besides, now wasn’t the time for polite introductions.

An impressive snarl emerged from inside the neatly trimmed goatee, “Hello, Cyn.” His deep voice raised every hair on my body and sent my pulse into overdrive.

Hunted by the Past: Bk 1 of PSY-IV Teams is available at: MuseItUp Publishing, Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, iBooks  and AllRomanceeBooks.

Thanks for being my guest, Jamie, and for what it’s worth, horror films creep me out, too. My favorite horror flicks are comedies like Young Frankenstein. 😉 And I, too, sing in the shower, in the car or when I’m alone in a room, but not in public!

What about you? Horror or not? Singing in public or not? Weigh in on anything in the comments to be entered for my monthly drawing for a $15 Starbucks e-gift card.
