2008 Haunted Hearths and Sapphic Shades author interview with L.C. Jordan. See the Sacchi Green post for more general info about the book.
Can you talk a bit about your inspiration for your story "Airtight"?
Airtight is an actual bridge, and I believe it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and Bridges as well as on several "haunted Illinois" lists. I've been there a couple of times and thus the inspiration for the story. Unfortunately the most scary things I saw were a turkey buzzard with some sort of road kill dinner and a raccoon the size of a large dog. Oh and the red pickup truck that followed me for miles was a bit unsettling.
Have you ever had an encounter with a ghost?
If I say yes, overly-friendly people won't show up at my door with medication and a new white shirt for me, will they? I've had some unusual things happen that I can't explain, and more than a few friends and family don't like to come out to my place at night. Go figure.
What's your favorite ghost story (you can pick a movie if you prefer)?
Odd choice though it may be, I think Dicken's Scrooge is my favorite.
What are you working on now and where can readers find out more about you?
Freelance writing pays my bills right now, so unfortunately I haven't had as much time to write creatively. I've dusted off a couple of projects though, and hopefully can get back into them with the advent of autumn and longer nights. As for finding out more about me, I have a few stories online so if you Google me I expect you'll land in the right place.
