S5 Ep 11 - Pied Piper's Prince
Episode 11
Tuesday, 19 November, 2024
This week, I am excited to introduce paranormal writer Gina Lynelle Schaefer. The stories she shares throughout the episode are quite fascinating and it is inspiring to learn more about her writing process and how she is inspired by real life events. She shares about her personal contributions and how she pulls them into stories, as well as her experience with capturing ghosts. Gina reads an excerpt from her book Pied Piper’s Prince which is inspired by the Candy Man. This portion of the story is when the veil is lifted, and a woman is trying to understand what happened in her home in the past. Tune in if you enjoy spooky, goosebump giving stories! IN THIS EPISODE: [1:57] Gina shares about her inspiration when writing paranormal fiction. [4:41] Why are people so fascinated with true crime? [6:09] What sites has Gina visited for inspiration for her stories? [9:40] What’s the difference between paranormal, horror, and mystery? [12:04] What personal contributions does Gina bring into her stories? [12:48] How does a paranormal investigator capture ghosts? [14:41] Gina shares about the piece she will read for us, the Pied Piper’s Prince. [18:57] We hear an excerpt from the Pied Piper’s Prince. KEY TAKEAWAYS: If young readers can see it, feel it, and it's descriptive, they’re more likely to buy it, read it, and get hooked on it. The research that goes into creating non fiction into fiction can be a huge amount of time. Our guest today spends time physically visiting sites, talking with those who were involved, and gathering information to inspire her next story. It is thought that the obsession with true crime comes from people trying to understand what goes on in the minds of these people and how it’s possible.
