Goodreads asked Sharon Love Cook:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Sharon Love Cook I'm taking the liberty of answering this. Years ago I took a course in "becoming a medium" in Salem, MA, a nearby town. What better place than Salem to learn, I figured. After many hours among mediums who contacted spirits (and those who attempted to), I learned that I wasn't receptive in that manner. I just couldn't pick up on others' "vibes." However, I was told that I was transmitting plenty. Thus I wanted to use what I learned from the Salem mediums in a mystery and I did in A Deadly Christmas Carol, the second Granite Cove Mystery: When sultry Dionne Dunbar is run down in the street one winter's night, Granite Cove Gazette reporter Rose McNichols is the only witness. Amid Christmas preparations in the New England fishing village, Rose alone is determined to discover Dionne's secrets. Who wanted the woman dead? Was it a member of her mediums circle . . . or one of her black book clients?
