AFTERWORD
WELL, THERE IT is. The sixth book in the series. If you're reading this, I just want to say a sincere thank you for coming along for the ride. I hope it's been as much fun to read as it has been to write. And, if you've ever posted a review, sent me an email or a tweet or dropped by Facebook to say hi, then a double thank you. Writing is a weird, lonely business. I absolutely love what I do, but pushing a book out into the world is like sending a message in a bottle out to sea. Hearing back from readers lets me know that I'm on the right track.

If, like Kaitlin and I, you are curious about the history of psychics, I highly recommend a podcast called Stuff Mom Never Told You. Hosts Cristen Conger and Caroline Ervin unearth a ton of info on psychics and decipher its meanings on a social, political and cultural level. The psychic episode is just one gem on their roster, every episode is stellar and highly recommended.
Vice has a surprising number of articles on the subject, too. This one, How do Psychics Survive in New York City, is a good sample of their fascination on the subject.
Also, I'm curious if anyone here is from Billie's adopted city of Hamilton. If you live there now, or have any time in the past, send me an email or a tweet or stop by Facebook and let me know. I'm really curious if any Hamiltonians read the Spookshow. I love Hamilton. The missus and I just bought a house there, with vague plans to relocate in a few years, but for now, it's a rental unit. It's a beautiful old house that just happens to be right across the street from Mockler's new place and about a twenty minute walk from Billie's dilapidated building.
If you're curious about the city, this article in the Guardian is a good introduction. The writer's blog, This Must be the Place, is also a fantastic resource to the Ambitious City.
That's all for now. Again, thank you for taking part in this strange tale about a girl and her ghosts. It's truly appreciated. I'm off to book an appointment with the psychic on the corner. Be well.
