Johnny grew up in the Southwest, sneaking into the den late at night to watch old movies.

If you know my writing, you will realize why I love the concept of ghosts in your writing as well. Have you ever run into one yourself?

Yes, I have. More than once.
The most memorable, and I'll try to keep this brief, happened backstage at an old theater in Knoxville, TN. I was young, touring with a musical play called, Cotton Patch Gospel.

I was behind a plywood wall, waiting for my cue to go on stage. As I stood backstage in the dark, I noticed something bright, high on the catwalk. A man in overalls with a long white beard was staring at me. He wasn't white, as in 'paper' white, but he wasn't transparent, either. He was a good twenty feet away, but at the same time, he was right beside me.

He was calm, and he conveyed a warmth; a sensation similar to that of a grandparent patting a youngster on the head. Pretty much stopped me in my tracks.

When I got to my hotel room later in the evening, there was a message from my sister. My stepmom had died that night.

I worked the old guy into the EKKO story, slightly. Since the ghosts in EKKO are adventurous and full of life, the old guy simply made a cameo appearance in book one.

Thanks for the question, Martha.

Happy writing :)

Actually- um- GR informs me that I recommended 'Stalking Shadows' by Tahlia Newland to you- Actually I didn't, I never recommend books- by cold call through GR. Haven't a clue what went wrong- but - I did give that YA fantasy 5 *. Now I suspect you will say that you never replied to my non-existent recommendation. Oh- I have to put a question mark - here goes -?

Sounds like some kind of goof happened somewhere.
I guess my non-existent reply would be congrats to "Stalking Shadows." (less)

It's all About Perception.
On a hill in northern Manhattan I witnessed an incredible view of Broadway running south. For miles the white lights flickered above a river of red and white car lights. A succession of green traffic lights shined dominantly down the center of the scene, starting at thirty feet wide and ending at half-an-inch. I had to stop and stare. My natural tendency was to wait for Read more of this blog post »
