Here Lies Bridget

The blend of humor and fantasy felt fresh, but I wonder what sparked the idea to mix these genres in this way. Did the author have a particular inspiration for the paranormal twist?

Her humor and attitude made her stand out, but I was curious whether that was based on someone the author knew or just a creative choice. How do readers connect with her voice?

The book seamlessly switches between lighthearted moments and more serious supernatural conflicts. Was this contrast planned from the beginning or developed during writing?
