Step into the smoky jazz scene of prohibition era 1920s, near the Mississippi River—where secrets simmer, spirits whisper, and one woman refuses to stay silent.
In this episode of Spirit Speakeasy, I sit down with medium, musician, and mystery writer Carolyn Marie Wilkins. We dive into her newest gripping supernatural mystery novel, Murder at the Wham Bam Club—a tale laced with intuition, injustice, and jazz.
Carolyn shares how her background in mediumship and music inspired this unique story.
We explore:
– How intuition guides her characters (and her writing process)
– Why she wrote a heroine who challenges authority and listens to her inner voice
– What it means to speak up in oppressive times
– The hidden spiritual messages layered into the novel for the reader
– The role music and metaphysics play in both fiction and life
– What most aspiring writers get wrong & her best advice
If you love a good mystery with a metaphysical twist, or you're curious about the intersections of jazz, justice, and the unseen world—this conversation will inspire and intrigue you.
