A Conversation with Olivia Blacke

Anthony Award-winning author Olivia Blacke will be in conversation with John Copenhaver, award-winning author of Hall of Mirrors.
They will be discussing Olivia’s newest Ruby and Cordelia Mystery Death at the Door.
Saturday, January 10th from 1 to 3 PM.
The odd couple of crime-solving returns in Olivia Blacke’s Death at the Door, where a ghost and her living roommate find another mystery on their doorstep. 
Ruby Young is slowly adjusting to her new life in Boston. A big part of that is her unexpected roommate-the ghost of the woman who lived there before. For Cordelia Graves, she may no longer be breathing, but it’s still her apartment and Ruby is the somewhat unwanted houseguest.
They’re both happy they’ve managed to become friends, which is a miracle considering they struggle to communicate with each other. Cordelia even set Ruby up with her old job. When Ruby discovers the body of a delivery guy at work, the new life she’s been building hangs in the balance.
The last time Cordelia dragged Ruby into a murder investigation, it was almost two ghosts living in the apartment, not one. Determined to protect Ruby, Cordelia tries to shield her from the investigation, but Ruby has other ideas. It will take both of them working together to navigate the fine line between the dead and the living to bring a killer to light.
 
Olivia Blacke (she/her) is the Anthony Award-winning author of the Ruby and Cordelia Mysteries, as well as the cozy Record Shop Mysteries and the Brooklyn Murder Mysteries. 
She had her first ghost encounter when she was five, but wasn’t involved with an active crime scene until much later, when she accidentally stepped into a chalk outline on a Manhattan sidewalk. 
She wants to be a unicorn when she grows up.
