I had to ask the other authors in this box set what they thought about combining western romance with ghost stories?
Here’s what they had to say.

I think the old west and
ghosts go together very well. We are taken with the folklore of that time and
place in the same way we’re intrigued with ghosts. The west is a place where so
many cultures came together, clashed, melded, and brought their traditions and
stories. Many people migrated there with high hopes but not all achieved
success. There are a lot of tragic stories, and many met their end violently.
And of course, the basis of so many ghost stories are romances gone wrong.
Keta Diablo said:
I
think cowboys and ghosts are a great combination and two of the most popular
tropes right now. Ghost stories…think abandoned ghost towns of the Old West and
hawt cowboys. People have always held a fascination for ghosts and the
afterlife so why not combine them with rugged, alpha cowboys and see what turns
up?

This
is the best of both worlds. Not only can you have a hot cowboy but a ghost to
cause trouble. What more can an author ask for?
Blaire Edens said:
I love a book that includes elements of more than one genre. Not only are
they fun to read, they’re great fun to write. In this case of this story,
ghosts and the Old West (my story takes places in the late 1800s) seem like a
natural fit. With outlaws and working girls, unrequited love and harsh
conditions, there’s bound to be a ghost in nearly every saloon and hotel room.
Because the West, especially just after the Civil War, was a land with tons of
interesting characters, it’s easy to imagine some of those folks hanging around
even after they’ve said their earthly good-byes.

I think it's fabulous. People back
then tended to believe in ghosts and the supernatural more than we do now, so
it's a good fit.
Margo Collins said:
I'm
delighted to combine them! I have had a old-west demon-hunter character in mind
for a long time; I'm glad to have a chance to write her into a story!
Erin Hayes said:
This
is right up my alley! I love combining genres because when you do, you come up
with something very fun and different. That’s what I’m aiming to do with my
story.
Andrea Downing said:
You
know, I’d never thought of combining the two because I’m something of a purist
when it comes to the west, but as soon as Keta suggested the idea I had a story
in my head. It doesn’t always happen
that way. I’m glad to be part of this
anthology and think it’s a great, fun idea.
