My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Barbara Dullaghan, author of the book, Secrets in the Hollow.  Barbara Dullaghan grew up in Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown and is enthralled with the magic and energy of the towns. She is published in gifted Education with Kendall Hunt and Prufrock Press and her short stories and poetry can be found in three anthologies. She and her husband, Jack, now live in coastal North Carolina and love spending time at the beach with their three children, spouses, and six energetic grandchildren.

In my book review, I stated Secrets in the Hollow is a debut mystery set in the small town of Sleepy Hollow. Not only does the storyline follow Carrie Peters – a woman of forty who has yet to figure out her life because she has been hiding her past, but it also provides readers with a great sense of place.

Throughout the story, we learn of the history of Sleepy Hollow, its cemetery, and its ghosts. At the same time, we learn of Carrie’s secrets – her own personal ghosts that haunt every waking minute.

​What happens when secrets finally come out? Do friendships remain? Can Carrie find her happily-ever-after?

I enjoyed Barbara’s first novel, and those who enjoy mystery will certainly find this to be a good read.
