What makes a romance author want to write about death? This week on Off The Shelf, Morgann sits down with bestselling romance author B.K. Borison to chat about her newest release, Grim Tidings, and why she decided to take her cozy romances into the supernatural world. B.K. shares how her husband's career in palliative care helped shape the story, why she wanted to write a female grim reaper, and what's coming next for the Department of Hauntings and Spirits.
