Eerie echoes: Ghost Story Workshop

Join local author Carmella Lowkis in this ghost story themed creative writing workshop.

We will take inspiration from her novel Spitting Gold. There will be opportunity to share your work in an open mic.

About Spitting Gold:

A deliciously haunting debut for fans of Sarah Waters and Sarah Penner set in 19th-century Paris, blending gothic mystery with a captivating sapphic romance as two estranged sisters—celebrated (and fraudulent) spirit mediums—come back together for one last con.

Books will be on sale at the event and Carmella will be happy to sign them for you..
