Ghostly Bodies

By Shawn Williams

John, an introverted medium, meets a ghost named Lona, an extroverted poltergeist. He is the first person she could speak to in what felt like forever to her. So, she follows him home and now he's stuck with a new roommate. She finds out she can possess dolls, which is pretty handy and they decide to buy her a sex doll and to learn American Sign Language. They fall for each other in the process.

Here's a video pitch for my book: https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPw-CbC1l-I&ab_channel=WhyMedia%3F

"Compelling plot. Believable world building. Realistic and and sympathetic characters. A mature subject, handled in a relatively tasteful way, and balanced out by good humour and comic relief. The author does a good job making you care about the characters' plights which is ultimately what you want in a story." - Newbage on RoyalRoad

"Taking a chance on a small new author is always a gamble. This one consistently delivers in every creative medium he's in. The stories are great, but so is his YouTube channel. It's nice to see this kind of passion from a creative type these days. It's easy to give up, it's hard to put yourself out there when nobody knows you & most likely nobody is going to give you recognition for a long time, if ever. I'd say he's worth looking at in that regard. 5/5 story & 5/5 author." ADTFrost on RoyalRoad

"I highly recommend this for anyone interested in a slice-of-life style story that has a little more meat on its bones. The characters have a certain depth and charm to them that make them easily relatable and lovable. (Honestly, Lona and Karen are the best.) The pacing is very forgiving and it is an easy thing to set down to continue reading later. It's very easy to get right back into the story without feeling lost and needing to backtrack too far, if at all. The humor is a little niche but it is certainly right up my alley so no complaints there. The organization and overall style was very interesting to track as you can practically map out the author's progress as he learned what he was doing and became more comfortable with his writing. It takes a few chapters to find his feet, but he does this rather quickly. The characters become more tangible and relatable in such a way that its a sheer treat for this reader to watch them grow into this amazingly complex cast. Admittedly, I did find the ending to this tale to be bittersweet, but it fit in with the themes present in Ghostly Bodies. The humor is still right up my alley and I know I've had my fair share of laughter and tears. Every star in this review was well deserved and I applaud Shawn] for gifting us such a lovingly crafted novel." - Witchbug13 on RoyalRoad
