Alchemy for Authors

Welcome to the Halloween Special of Alchemy for Authors!

As an author who writes Gothic Fiction and Supernatural Suspense, it won't be a surprise to you that I've had a fascination with ghosts and hauntings since childhood. In this episode, I get personal and share some of my thoughts about why I've always been drawn to write ghost stories and where I get my inspiration from.

If you have a fascination with ghosts and hauntings or are interested in why people write what they write, then this is the episode for you. As a bonus, I share some of my personal experiences and interactions with those who have passed over. You can expect a few goosebumps from this episode!
