First, I just had this character I wanted to write: Liv. The idea came from a bunch of things piling up in my brain at once. She has to connect to the one guy who can hear her, work to expose the conspiracy and, hopefully, reconnect in some way with her love. While lingering as a ghost, she learns she’s the victim of a conspiracy that has claimed many other lives. Just when she starts to get in the groove, and falls in love for the first time, she’s murdered. It’s about a young artist who lands at a prestigious boarding school. Liv, Forever is a young adult novel, my first. I always like to start at the beginning: What is Liv, Forever about and where did you get the idea for it? Though in talking to her about the book, it seems that some of what happened while she wrote the novel wasn’t so mysterious. But after she wrote it as a book, it got optioned by a film company…who hired Talkington to write the screenplay. Before she penned her first novel - the young adult ghost story Liv, Forever - she was going to tell her tale as a screenplay for a movie.
