About R.A.:
I’m going to take this opportunity to tell you a little about myself. I’ve always loved to write. I remember taking pieces of paper, cutting them into squares, and stapling them together to form a small book when I was a kid. The Witch and the Kitty is one book that I remember creating. I didn’t really have a plot, though. I just wrote about a witch that lived in the basement of my home.
For Christmas one year, my parents bought me a Smith Corona typewriter, and I would stay up at night typing away about horses galloping into the sunset. Again, I didn’t really have a story line.
Later, after I grew up and had some life experience, I tried my hand at writing again. This time I started with short stories. One of my short stories was called Picture Girl. It was about a picture of me when I was four years old that was possessed by a ghost. This originated from a nightmare I had when I was in middle school. (It must’ve been scary since I could remember it all these years later.) After a dear friend of mine read the short story, she pushed me to turn it into a book. So, I wrote a middle and an ending and finished my first novel Ghost in the Blue Dress.

Great cover, R.A. Thanks for being with us today!
Glad I found you here! I went to your blog and the blue dress on your book cover looks pretty much like the one you wear in your childhood picture. Great job!
I could not put this book down, it kept you on your toes....I highly recomend this book! The author has a great imagination. Great find! Andi
Thanks HiDee! I'm glad to be here :)
Hi Judith, When I wrote the story, I described the dress just like the one that was in my picture as a kid. So it was a bit of a challenge to find the perfect picture for the cover. Jack at Black Opal Books worked his magic and came up with this. Thanks for the comment :)
Andi, I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you so much for your comment :)
I really liked the book. I love the cover, how clever!
I hope your writing another one. Myself I am into true life with pictures, I love history and like to read about someone's real life story with surprised endings! Your very talented RA Slone. Keep on writing and keep us on our toes! Try a dirty romance I love those too!! ��
Pretty cover! I had a Royal typewriter! :-)
Thank you, Anonymous (even though I'm pretty sure I know who you are!). I'm glad you liked the book and am looking for more from me. I really appreciate that. I am working on something new. The main character is a WWII veteran so you might like it. It's a romance but definitely not dirty. Hope you give it a try!! Thanks for the comment!
Liz, I'm glad you like the cover. Using a typewriter as a kid will always be a great memory. The new generation will be "typewriter?" I've never seen one of those!
