so the mystery of the Beautiful Dead builds into a heart-breaking climax
... Eden Maguire lives part of the time in the US, where she enjoys
the big skies and ice-capped mountains of Colorado. An abandoned
farmstead two hours south west of Denver gave her the perfect setting
for The Beautiful Dead. 'It was as if time had stood still,' she says of
her first chance visit to the ranch. 'The kitchen still had the old
rocking-chair and iron stove, the ancient barn door really did blow open
and shut in the wind.' It was here that the seed for a series of
paranormal romance mysteries was sown. Eden Maguire's lifelong
admiration for Emily Bronte's timeless classic, Wuthering Heights, ties
in with her fascination for the dark side of life and informs her
portrayal of the restless, romantic souls in The Beautiful Dead. Eden's
life is lived as much as possible outdoors, thanks to ranch-owning
friends in Colorado. She says, 'Put me on a horse and point me towards a
mountain - that's where I find my own personal paradise.'
