McCrumb is obviously very interested in folk tales, ghost stories and the Celtic telling of these stories, both in Europe and as the stories have been re-told in America. There are various characters, past and present, whose lives intertwine briefly in interesting and occasionally surprising ways. One of these stories has a direct influence on the present. The narratives set in the past are linked by a chance meeting but still remain separate tales. In Ghost Riders there are two separate tales from the past and a storyline set in the present. Usually in the “modern” story there is a mystery which the story in the past fleshes out or provides with a new insight. In the other books, the storyline goes back and forth between past and present, the stories linked sometimes obviously and sometimes tenuously. Ghost Riders is the latest novel in Sharyn McCrumb’s “Ballad Series.” Ghost Riders is different from the others in the series in that there is no mystery (in the “mystery novel” sense of the word) to be solved.

During the war, Martha resolutely supported her husband, 'the General,' joining him every winter in headquarters she was essential to his well-being and was a redoubtable, vastly admired figure. She endowed Washington with the confidence-and resources-that would aid him when elected commander-in-chief of the Continental army.

One of Helene’s gifts is to render the mysterious and mystical in often poignant terms expanding the boundaries of physical space into the unfettered space of psyche and Spirit. Writing from her sacred space, Hélène speaks to us in a silken web that is both imaginal and mythic, a space inhabited by visions and creatures we all know. In Hèléne Cardona’s poetry, we get just that. Don’t talk to me about theology. There’s a place for all that but what I really want is your visceral response to life, art and to the Ineffable.
