Finding Justice in the Paranormal Series
The main character in Love Detour has the ability to see and communicate with ghosts. When I wrote Ashlyn’s story, I thought about what it would be like to actually possess these psychic abilities. It is one thing to write about having some dead stranger show up unexpectedly in your living room, and it is another to actually go into the head of a young woman who witnessed this unbelievable moment. Finding justice in any paranormal series starts with authenticity.
Before I wrote Love Detour, I was watching a documentary on TV about a woman who possessed the ability to see and communicate with ghosts. She claimed that sometimes when people died, they had a hard time moving onto the other side and would find people like her to leach onto. She had one ghost who wanted to connect with his son, and after some research, she was able to find the boy and convince him to meet her. I was skeptical about watching their meeting. I kept thinking the woman was trying to pull over a fast one on this poor innocent boy. But that was not what happened. Instead, the woman connected with the boy and told him things only his father could know. She brought the boy peace.
After the documentary finished, my mind kept digging for more answers. I thought about what it would be like to be able to see and communicate with ghosts. I thought about what it would be like to connect to a loved one through a stranger. How would I feel? Would I be able to believe a stranger and find peace? Would my life be better because of that connection?
Writing is about asking the right questions. It is important to put yourself in a character’s shoes and see life from their point of view. Writing paranormal is no different than writing any other story. An audience needs to care about a character before they follow their journey and root for their justice. Authenticity leads to connection.
