real vegas screw-ups
Nothing screws up a séance like the appearance of a real ghost. ~Jaime Vegas
vegas interesting able
Let’s just say that being able to contact ghosts makes for some very interesting ménages á trios… and ménages á quartre, and ménages á … whatever five is in French. ~Jaime Vegas
vegas true-power saws
I saw my true power. The darkest power. The greatest power. ~Jaime Vegas
wrong-number numbers vegas
I could shave my head and wear a sackcloth and still get a whole lot of ghostly wrong numbers. Makes me wonder if there’s some kind of ghost-necro porn industry down there. ~Jaime Vegas
vegas devil lessons
Nuh-uh. No deals with the devil. I’ve learned my lesson on that one. ~Jaime Vegas

dry money series soon tempting wrap
When a series is doing well, it's very tempting to keep writing it, even when the creative well is drying up. It's tempting because that's where the money is.

attempt car fell flat high instead kid locker parody piece possessed realized version wrote
The first piece of 'long' fiction I wrote was a novella parody of Stephen King's 'Christine.' I was in high school, and my version was about a kid with a possessed locker instead of a possessed car. It was also my first attempt at humour, which fell completely flat because no one who read it realized it was a parody!
dry eventually gets opposite run sure true worried wrote
I always worried that the creative well would dry up. I was sure that if I wrote a book a year, I would eventually run out of ideas. Actually, the opposite has been true for me. The more I write, the more ideas come to me and it gets easier.
