A Thin Slice of Heaven
By- p.m. terrell
Genre-Ghost Story/ Romantic Suspense
Publication Date- May 1st, 2015
She had arranged to meet her husband in Northern Ireland for a second honeymoon, but when Charleigh arrives at the remote castle, she receives a message that he won't be coming-and that he's leaving her for another woman. Stranded for the weekend by a snowstorm that has blocked all access to the castle, she finds herself three thousand miles from home in a country she knows nothing about.
She is soon joined by Sean Bracken, the great-grandson of Laird Bracken, the original owner of the castle, and she finds herself falling quickly and madly in love with him. There's just one problem: he's dead.
As the castle begins to come alive with secrets from centuries past, she finds herself trapped between parallel worlds. Caught up in a mass haunting, she can no longer recognize the line between the living and the dead. Now she's discovering that her appearance there wasn't by accident-and is more sinister than she ever suspected.
Dream Cast:
If 'A Thin Slice of Heaven' was made into a movie and you could cast anyone you wanted, who would you choose ? No images required.
The actor I would select for the role of the Irish ghost, Sean Bracken, is an easy one. Hands down, it would be Santiago Cabrera. Currently, he is starring as Aramis in BBC's series, The Musketeers, in which he and Queen Anne have lit up the screen in romance. (See video https://youtu.be/Kl0ZZ7N4zGk)
Though Santiago was born in Venezuela, he grew up in London, Madrid, Toronto and Romania.
The role of Charleigh is a bit more difficult. She begins as a woman around 40 who, by her own admission, has a thickening middle and prematurely platinum hair. I pictured a young Judi Dench: classy and classic, proper yet passionate, a woman abandoned by her husband but able to fall in love almost immediately with the Laird of Brackenridge Castle, a man who passed away more than a hundred years earlier.

Sean's wife could easily be played by Zoe Boyle. Fair-haired, light eyes, a classic beauty who served as Lady of Brackenridge Castle before her death.
