episode 10: The (Funny and Kind of Spine-Tingling) Brochure on Paranormal Fiction and Family Ghost Stories: My Interview with Author Kari Pohar
Don't turn out the lights just yet! Join me for a special Halloween episode! An exciting conversation with the ebullient storyteller and published author, Kari Pohar. Today, we’re peeling back the curtain on Kari's fascinating family history, filled with 150 years of ghostly encounters and fueled by a family tradition of sharing supernatural tales. Listen in as Kari unfolds the fantastical narrative of a certain pie-loving phantom that'll leave you both spooked and entertained!
We'll hear about Kari's only child journey through a death in the family and how that caused her to have an epiphany of sorts about her future, and the future of some of her loved ones. How does an only child navigate school friendships? Kari tells us her own story. And then becoming a parent to not one but two children and facing the challenge of parenting. It's all here.
Finally, we plunge into Kari's world of paranormal fiction, where one of her main characters bumbling his way through things, and oh, he might be based on Kari herself! The spark that ignited her passion for storytelling in seventh grade has led Kari down a thrilling path to becoming an accomplished author. Uncover the journey to her first published story, 'The Horror Siblings', to her first (surely of many) novel, 'Chateau Merlot,' and be inspired, whether you're a budding writer, a fan of supernatural fiction, or just someone who loves a good spooky tale.
Happy Halloween!
Bio - Kari Pohar
On Friday, April 13th, 2018, Kari took a chance and believed in herself. She submitted her first short story to an anthology (Window: Inner Circle Writers Group Children's Anthology). Since then, she has been published a total of 8 times and won 3rd place in a local writing anthology.
She has always had an interest in the paranormal: ghost hunting tv shows, psychics, tarot cards and the unexplained. As a pre-teen she discovered the paranormal genre in the form of: Wait Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn & Dollhouse Murders by Betty Ren Wright. Other authors she finds inspiration from include: Edgar Allan Poe, O'Henry, Mercedes Lackey, Agatha Christie, Anne McCaffrey, Marissa Meyer.
Kari lives with her husband, two kids, cat and at least one ghost. Others may visit from time-to-time, however. She is trying her hand at astral projection to somewhere tropical, but has thus far been unsuccessful.
