Noemi Ghirghi writes as Mimi Sebastian and raised herself on books and the strange and unusual with an unhealthy dose of comics and Scooby Doo. Loving angst-filled romance thrown in the mix, she decided to blend all those elements in a steamy mix in her first Urban Fantasy series, the Necromancer Books. The first book, The Necromancer’s Seduction, debuts July 15, 2013, with ImaJinn Books.
Noemi spent two years in the Ivory Coast with the Peace Corps and loves to introduce tid-bits from her experiences in her writing. She’s a member of Romance Writers of America and the Fantasy, Futuristic and Paranormal chapter of RWA. A transplant from the beaches of Florida, Noemi now wanders the desert in Phoenix, AZ, and attempts to balance writing with a day career, fantastic family, and household diva: her Amazon parrot.

She has never feared the walking dead. It’s the power required to reanimate the dead that startles her, seduces her. The power that dwells inside her…and is growing.
For Professor Ruby Montagne, being a necromancer has brought her nothing but heartache, and she walked away from that part of her life long ago. However, her quiet existence in San Francisco is shattered when she stumbles upon the body of a slain witch, and the supernatural community insists she transform him into a revenant to track the killer. But his murder was just the beginning, and Ruby soon realizes that the stakes are higher than anyone can imagine—and that revenants have nasty minds of their own.
Now demonic creatures have escaped into the human world, and zombies once again walk the streets. For humanity’s sake, Ruby forms an unlikely alliance with a witch, a zombie, and Ewan March, a demon warrior who sets her senses on fire.
She’s always distrusted demons and Ewan is no exception, but circumstances push them closer together, and Ruby not only finds it harder to resist him, she isn’t sure she even wants to. But she suspects his job of patrolling the portal separating humans and demons conceals a dark and deadly past that may consume them both.
With events spiraling out of control, Ruby unravels a plot that not only threatens the human and demon realms, but puts Ruby’s very soul in jeopardy. Because when the dead walk, no one is safe. Especially Ruby.
Q) What inspired you
to write this story?
It was really the characters speaking to me and telling me
this story. I never thought my heroine would be a necromancer, but once I began
writing the story, I became more and more intrigued with exploring her
character, and how she coexists with this intense power.
Q) How long did it
take you to write?
About two years.
Q) What is your
favorite thing about writing?
Those moments of inspiration, when the muse decides to pay a
visit and the writing just flows or a wonderful plot idea pops into your head.
Q) What is your least
favorite thing about writing?
Not having enough time to write J
Q) If you could be
any famous person for one day, who would you be and why?
Someone who died mysteriously, like Marilyn Monroe, so I
could find out if she really committed suicide or was murdered.
Q) What is the oldest
thing in your fridge and how old is it?
I’m borderline OCD about tossing decaying food items, so
whatever old item still in there is probably meant to survive the apocalypse,
like butter or something.
Q) What can readers
expect from you in the future?
Two more books in the Necromancer Series and a pirate
historical or two. I’m waiting for that horror story idea to come to me.
