Guest Blog: Sniffing the Dead, by Liam R. Findlay

Guest Blog: Sniffing the Dead, by Liam R. Findlay

Colette Planchette can talk to the dead with a supernatural sense of smell. That was the starting point for Liam R. Findlay’s novel The Doom Town Dummies, which follows the misadventures of Colette as she sniffs her way through a village of eerie shop-window dummies, aided by a ghostly best friend. Read all about it, in this guest post from Liam!
