Dead Aunts Don't Whisper, a paranormal romcom concept package. The graphic shows 3 novel covers and the free lead magnet, Borrow Auntie's Earrings.

The concept

Mavis Barnett never learned to whisper when she was alive. As a ghost attached to a pair of red earrings she is worse. An adult wearer and the first person who asks whether she is all right can both hear Mavis until the earrings go back in their box. Three couples in a Hull family learn just how intimate it is to share a spectacularly unhelpful chaperone.

Faye calls the séance a party game. Leon hears the voice in her earring ask whether he is single. In a panic he says he came as Faye’s date. Mavis immediately requests details. The free companion novella is Borrow Auntie's Earrings.

The worldMavis knows only what she knew in life or hears while the case is open. She gets things wrong. Any wearer can put the earrings away. All romantic partners are living adults.
Series tropesHidden World • Flirtatious Teasing Banter • Slow Burn
Intended readershipReaders of affectionate paranormal romcoms who enjoy intrusive relatives and living people taking back their love lives.
Tone & contentComic and closed-door. Gentle depictions of grief, family affection and kisses.
