Gallivanting Ghosts!
by Kimberly Frost
Thanks so much for letting me visit with you today!
The main character of my Southern Witch series, Tammy Jo Trask, grew up in the frequent company of the ghost of her great-great grandmother’s twin sister, Edie. Here’s a snippet of an exchange between Tammy and Edie from early in Book 1, WOULD-BE WITCH:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I stole a glance at Edie’s exquisite face. With porcelain skin and high cheekbones, she was prettier than a china doll. She wore her sleek black hair bobbed, either straight or waved, depending on her mood and her outfit. Her lips were painted a provocative cherry red today. Rumor had it that Edie had inspired men to diamonds…and suicide. It was generally accepted in my family that one of her jilted beaus had murdered her, but she never shared the details of the 1926 unsolved New York homicide of which she’d been the star.
“How are you?” I asked.
“I’m dead. How would you bed?”
I opened my mouth and closed it again. I had no idea. Was it hard being a ghost? Was it boring? She was very secretive about her life, er, afterlife.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edie is a complex character. Sometimes she’s so sarcastic that Tammy Jo wants to throttle her. Others she’s worried about Tammy and tries to help her, providing information and advice. I tend to like characters who aren’t black and white. Shades of gray have always been sexy. ;)
