Ready&Willing Dear Reader,   I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about Louisville during Derby time, which is my favorite time of year in my hometown. Once again, however, I’ve taken some literary license for the sake of keeping reality fictional. For instance, addresses on Third Street in Old Louisville actually include four numbers, not three, as Audrey’s does in the book. And 1400 Willow, where Nathaniel lives, actually only has twenty-one floors, so Nathaniel would be living on the roof, were he actually living on the twenty-second. And please forgive me, my fellow Louisvillians, for playing fast and loose with a few streets and locations downtown for the sake of Cecilia’s tour with Silas. Some aspects of the story are, however, true. Old Louisville really is considered one of the most haunted neighborhoods in the country, and there have indeed been whole books written about it. If you’d like to learn more, I’d recommend local author David Dominé’s Ghosts of Old Louisville. Or visit the website at www.ghostsofoldlouisville.com. If you ever visit Louisville, you can even take a tour of haunted Old Louisville. Maybe, if you’re very lucky, you may run into a riverboat captain or two . . .   Happy reading! Elizabeth
