Flash forward to the present day and we find Carly (formerly
Charlotte) still very much alive and still mourning the death decades earlier
of her beloved husband Jamie. Carly has lost contact with her only other
eternal friend, Xander, and now she’s hearing voices in her head.
Carly accepts an invitation from an online friend to help him appraise his collection of Victorian photographs in hopes that the persistent suitor in her head will sense a male presence and leave her in peace.

Little does Carly know that Daniel Tremont is someone
special, too. Not only is he eternal like she is, but he’s the young man from
the lumber mill fire all those years earlier. Daniel has been searching for
Carly for over one hundred years, and now that he has found her, he has no
intentions of letting her go. But can he make her see who he really is?
SEE ME is a cleverly written paranormal romance novella
flavored with a bit of horror. We meet Carly and Daniel, who are both eternal
and searching for the missing pieces in their life. The reader is not bogged
down with tons of fancifully written backstory, but introduced via a love story
to two people who through no real fault of their own cannot die and are just
struggling to get along with a never ending future. Emotionally driven, we feel
their pain, we see their struggle, we elate in their happiness. The beauty of
this story is its simplicity. When simple is done right it is beautiful, and
SEE ME is beautiful. The quintessential paranormal romance.
