How did you know this was the book you wanted to spend the next couple of years on? TheBigThrill caught up to award-winning author Kalisha Buckhanon for an in-depth conversation about her latest mystery, RUNNING TO FALL:Ī novel is such a major undertaking there’s the writing of it, of course, then you’re spending months and months revising, polishing, and then promoting it. Then Tragedy spirals into addiction, past secrets and the local women’s fight for justice for a woman. But Victor’s ex-wife, the Grayson gossip and a female detective all close in on Tragedy’s unraveling life. The pressure to manage his image for profit drives her to drink, even when his trying teen daughter visits. Tragedy, haunted by her own difficult checkered past versus Victor’s sterling history, thinks so. Is the spirit of the mysterious scarlet-lettered woman, Raven McCoy, haunting Grayson during the pandemic? ![]() Then, a missing young black woman floats up in the Grayson River.

Tragedy and Victor Powell have moved to the desirable but dark Grayson Glens enclave of dream homes just outside of Chicago. ![]()
