Let's talk about your new book The White Door can you give a little synopsis?

This is a raw unedited synopsis:

The haunting third book in the Best Selling Visitors Series.
“When I had first moved here I was still a girl who cherished the normality of teen life. Now, after being here a year I came to love a boy who was both strong and courageous. I made real friendships that would last even after death. The selfish girl my grandmother warned me of becoming had vanished. A girl who stood tall with the powers to see the dead and help those in need appeared in her place.”

In Brylee’s world nothing is normal. She sees and speaks with the dead and at 17 years old she already has a full plate. She’s in her senior year and college is just around the corner. She must learn to control her gifts of seeing the dead and survive in the land of the living if she wants to fulfill her dreams of college. She succeeded in ridding the Brown family curse from her boyfriend, Ephraim but in the end her best-friend lost her life. Now a whole slew of new problems present itself and like always Brylee is tempted to run for the hills. With Ephraim at her side she must come to grips with the reality that she is not a normal girl and she never will be. What will happen when the town turns on her and her house? Or better yet when a body is unearthed in her backyard? Brylee will be forced to make more decisions than ever before.

Who designed the cover?

The cover is not yet designed.

Will this be the last book in the series?

No, there will be one more after this. Untitled as of now.

Who is your favorite character in the series?

By far, Brylee. She is getting so strong. I can see her growing up right in front of my eyes.

Which character is most like you?

Kayla is most like me. She’s brash and to the point but at the same time she would do anything for her friends.

What's coming next from the amazing mind of Christy Sloat?

I plan on writing two standalone titles that I hope to release next year. The first is, Slumber and the next after that is The Librarian. I’ll have more information on those after my last book in this current series is finished.
