Award-winning author Kate Racculia joins An Unlikely Story for a virtual event to share her whimsical and funny mystery novel, Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts, now available in paperback. Buzzfeed has deemed this book the "Best Paperback of October 2020" and Publishers Weekly said “Rarely does a novel so suffused with death radiate as much life as this spirited—in every sense of the word—genre-bending adventure. The author...has a deeper design in mind, which only becomes apparent with the book’s immensely satisfying final bombshells. Racculia should win many new fans with this inspired effort.” Racculia will be in conversation with librarian and Apointment Tv podcaster Margaret Willison.
