In this episode of the Bookaholic Podcast, host Deirdre sits down with author Gail Grant Park to discuss her cozy paranormal mystery trilogy — We Are Shadows: An Irish Ghost Story and its sequels. Gail shares how real-life family experiences with the afterlife inspired her stories, including a breathtaking account of a spirit saving a cousin from a car accident, and a humorous but heartwarming visit from her late father. She also dives into how her 24 years following her husband's military career — including time in Brussels, Belgium — helped her connect with Irish cousins whose culture, slang, and recipes are woven throughout the books. We also talk about her journey to becoming a published author later in life, joining a writing group, self-publishing, and winning multiple awards for Book One.
