Getting Back to Normal by Marilyn Levinson

Sixth-grader Vannie Taylor’s mom has just died. Her father, completely lost without his wife, brings Vannie and her younger brother to live in a dismal cottage on the estate where he manages craft fairs, dinners, and other events. When strange events start happening around the estate, Vannie decides to investigate, and soon discovers a ghost who wants her to help him make amends for something in his past. Vannie’s life is starting to get back to normal, but in a way she’s never imagined.

How is Writing In Your Genre Different from Others?
Getting Back to Normal is a YA. I remember how it was to be young. (sigh) I also am aware of what being young means to kids of the young generation of today.

What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
Read in your genre. Write. Critique with other writers. Write. Join writing groups. Write. Write. Write.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The magic of an arboretum dear to my heart inspired my novel. I loved the idea of having a ghost with a secret, an old mansion, a feral Maine Coon cat, a bit of sadness, and a touch of romance all in one story.
