When the book opens, Lily has been in town for a couple of months and has made a friend, Bronwyn, who runs an herbal stand in Lily’s store. Lily opens a vintage clothing store called Aunt Cora’s Closet so she can indulge in her love of vintage clothing, and contribute to the neighborhood. She likes old things because they feel like the people they’ve been around, and she loves vintage clothing especially. Lily has been a real loner her whole life, but she is very sensitive to people’s vibrations. She doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb any more. There are a lot of open-minded, idiosyncratic people living there, so Lily feels as though she fits in for the first time in her life. She finally winds up in San Francisco - more specifically, in the Haight-Ashbury section of SF, which is the traditional hippie haven. She was essentially run out of town as a young woman and then traveled the globe for some time, looking for a place to land where she would feel safe. Lily comes from a small west Texas town where her talents weren’t exactly appreciated. Juliet Blackwell: Secondhand Spirits is the first in the new Witchcraft Mysteries series, featuring Lily Ivory, a natural born witch. Literary Escapism: For those who haven’t discovered Secondhand Spirits, how would you describe the world you’ve built? Is there anything you’re hoping your readers will get, not just from the individual books, but from the world you’ve created? We’ll be giving away signed copies of both Secondhand Spirits and A Cast-Off Coven to one lucky individual.
Can she keep her identity secret, or will her witchy ways be forced out of the closet as she attempts to stop the phantom? Lily has a good idea that some bad phantoms are behind it. Just when things seem normal, a client is murdered and children start disappearing from the Bay Area. It’s there that she opens her vintage clothing shop, outfitting customers both spiritually and stylistically.
Lily Ivory feels that she can finally fit in somewhere and conceal her “witchiness” in San Francisco. Juliet has just released the second novel, A Cast-Off Coven, but since I was unfamiliar with the series, we talked a bit about the first novel, Secondhand Spirits: While I was at RT this past month, I had the opportunity to meet Juliet Blackwell, the author of the new Witchcraft Mystery series.
