   (Ep: 556) What If Marilyn Monroe's Ghost Became Your Acting Coach?

   What if Marilyn Monroe's ghost suddenly showed up and decided that what you really needed was an acting coach? Award-winning Vermont author Mima Tipper joins us to talk about Channeling Marilyn, her new paranormal YA novel about shy high-school senior Lexa Donovan, an unexpected starring role, a serious case of stage fright — and some supernatural assistance from one of Hollywood's most famous stars. We talk about writing a real cultural icon into fiction, researching Marilyn Monroe, the pressures teenagers face around confidence and body image, balancing humor with heavier emotional material, and what Marilyn's complicated legacy might still have to say to young people a century after her birth. Mima also shares the unusual path that brought her work to publication and the remarkable year surrounding her debut novel, Kat's Greek Summer, winner of the 2025 Vermont Book Award for Children's Literature. And we look ahead to the YA novel inspired by Greek mythology that Mima is developing next.

   (Ep: 555) Big Ideas for Little Readers: Regina Linke on Creating Little Helper

   How do you take ideas that are thousands of years old and turn them into a picture book a four-year-old wants to hear again? On this episode of The We Make Children's Books Podcast, author and illustrator Regina Linke joins us to talk about her newest picture book, Little Helper, the continuing adventures of young Ah-Fu, and the unusual creative path that led Regina from a career in business and technology to studying traditional Chinese painting and becoming an award-winning children's-book creator. We talk about transforming concepts from East Asian philosophy into stories young readers can understand, writing without turning a book into a lesson, creating illustrations inspired by traditional Chinese gongbi painting, and what changes when the same creator is responsible for both the words and pictures. Regina also discusses Big Enough, winner of the 2025 New England Book Award for Picture Book and a 2026 ALSC Notable Children's Book, the evolution of The Oxherd Boy, and what she's creating next.

   (Ep: 554) The Vermont Family Who Claimed They Could Make the Dead Appear

   In the 1870s, people traveled to rural Chittenden, Vermont to see something extraordinary: members of the Eddy family who claimed they could communicate with the dead — and even make spirits physically appear before an audience. But how much of the story we've heard for the last 150 years is actually true? On this episode of Vermont Artists & Authors, Barney Smith talks with Vermont historian Jason Smiley, who has spent more than a decade researching William and Horatio Eddy and the larger Eddy family. Jason discusses how a Vermont family became famous during America's spiritualism craze, what visitors experienced during their séances, the evidence suggesting some of their supernatural demonstrations weren't what they appeared to be, and the myths that continue to be repeated today. We also talk about Jason's planned three-volume history of the family, including The Devil's Cabinet and Spirit Vale, and his work as a story consultant on the developing feature film Woman of Another World. It's a conversation about ghosts — but even more about history, belief, skepticism, storytelling and what happens when folklore becomes more famous than the facts. The Title sequence was designed and created by Morgan Quaid.
