Please keep the books coming. I am loving the Tradd St series. It has it all : history ,romance ,ghosts , mystery, humor ....thank you for writing such a delightful series
An angle that is not mined enough is non-crime mysteries. A heroine in her 40s is special too; adult readers see themselves in Melanie et al. Consider the abundance of ideas, if you bypass the mould most authors use and make the mysteries about the spirits.... and anything else!
Secrets, quests, family, history of houses, the afterlife, connectivity after physical death; these are the things readers love most about your novels, dear Karen. Crimes to solve get in the way of the action, emotion, and true mystery that are the best parts. I have a feeling that if you drop the limiting crime branch of mystery, the most unique ideas will flow in. Your fan in Manitoba, Carolyn.
I'm incredibly excited about Nola's spin off series! That's definitely something to look forward to.
However, I need more Tradd Street! I absolutely LOVED the 7th book, but I'm wishing for an 8th! (and 9th! and 10th! and so on! :)
The Shop on Royal Street is on hold from my local library. I love that they have put them into audiobooks. Can't wait to find out what adventures the smart, sassy, wise beyond her years Nola will get into.
