And with Yuki, the protagonist of the Spirit Guide series, she’s a young teenager and she’s coping with all of the things that happened in high school, being a bit of an outcast, having all the different tumultuous things that happened during that time period, and I thought, “How can I make her life even more difficult?” And it made me start wondering about the different ways that people interact with ghosts, with the dead, with the spirit world, and not that I felt that I was actually interacting in that moment, but it really inspired me and I started thinking about things like smell and taste and touch and all these different ways that we interact. Stevens: Well, I was actually on a walk with my corgi, walking past a graveyard, and all of a sudden I smelled this really strong cologne and I looked everywhere and no one was there. Whatever inspired you to create a protagonist as you did in the Spirit Guide series, who can smell ghosts?Į.J. JMW: Your heroines have such interesting powers.

Sneaking off and playing truant from school, Red's wish comes true in a rather unexpected way. In Red's case, she takes more direct action. Red is me aged 10, wondering if the big wide world was out there to be explored and enjoyed and when that would actually happen to me. Here's where this book had me hooked and this is where I could see the glimmer of delight in Charlotte's eyes as well. Red is in foster care, and feels that there's a whole other life somewhere out there that could take her away from the mundanity of school and home life. They feature female characters, characters that Charlotte can readily get behind and be inspired by and none more so than Red, the feisty red-headed 10 year old and the hero of this tale.

Publishers Text Escape to Provence this summer with the "brave, funny" sequel to Elizabeth Bard's bestselling Lunch in Paris (Diane Johnson). Picnic in Provence: A Memoir with Recipes Elizabeth Bard 3.85 2,823 ratings339 reviews The bestselling author of Lunch in Paris takes us on another delicious journey, this time to the heart of Provence. Tom Willard had a passion for village politics and for years had been the leading Democrat in a strongly Republican community. "Damn such a life, damn it!" he sputtered aimlessly. As he went spruce and business-like through the streets of Winesburg, he sometimes stopped and turned quickly about as though fearing that the spirit of the hotel and of the woman would follow him even into the streets. The hotel in which he had begun life so hopefully was now a mere ghost of what a hotel should be. He thought of the old house and the woman who lived there with him as things defeated and done for. The hotel was unprofitable and forever on the edge of failure and he wished himself out of it. When he thought of her he grew angry and swore. The presence of the tall ghostly figure, moving slowly through the halls, he took as a reproach to himself. Her husband, Tom Willard, a slender, graceful man with square shoulders, a quick military step, and a black mustache trained to turn sharply up at the ends, tried to put the wife out of his mind. Listlessly she went about the disorderly old hotel looking at the faded wall-paper and the ragged carpets and, when she was able to be about, doing the work of a chambermaid among beds soiled by the slumbers of fat traveling men. Although she was but forty-five, some obscure disease had taken the fire out of her figure. ELIZABETH WILLARD, the mother of George Willard, was tall and gaunt and her face was marked with smallpox scars.

I didn’t consider it a mystery-in fact beyond referring to it as “my novel” I didn’t assign a category to the work. So I wrote the story that was in my head. I knew who her fellow characters were and I knew she represented the spirit of her generation of women in Britain-the first generation of women in modern times to go to war. I knew she was no amateur and that her approach was unusual. I didn’t stop to consider such things as “genre” or “series”-I just wanted to write the story that had come to me while stuck in that traffic jam, about a WW1 nurse, who later became a trained psychologist and investigator. The character was a woman named Maisie Dobbs-the title of my first novel. One day, stuck in traffic on the way to work, waiting for the cars ahead to move, I had an idea for a novel and a leading character-it was a moment of artistic grace, because by the time I arrived at work I had most of her story in my head.
