Today I have Olivia Blacke on the show to discuss “Friendly Ghosts” in books. Olivia’s “Cordelia and Ruby” mysteries are a great example of helpful, non-frightening ghosts, and we use them as a launching pad to discuss the work these types of characters can do in a story. After all, ghosts were once people, so I think it’s fair to refer to them as characters instead of monsters. Also, we have Olivia to thank for a new feature at the end of each episode, where guests recommend their favorite indie bookshops. We had already finished recording when she suggested this so I’ll just say right now that her bookstore recommendations are Bookshelf on Church, in Kilmarnock, Virginia, and Bluebird and Co. in Crozet, Virginia.
