Known for her unique blend of mystery, sci-fi, romance, and the supernatural, Lorna took us deep into the eerie world of her latest novel, A Glimmer in the Hollows—a haunting tale set in a small Appalachian town filled with dark secrets, unexplained disappearances, and blurred lines between reality and the unknown.Why You Should Tune Into This Interview:In this interview, Lorna Selley not only dives into the rich, atmospheric world she's created in A Glimmer in the Hollows, but she also opens up about her personal writing journey, the inspiration behind her supernatural storytelling, and the challenges of crafting such a genre-bending novel.
