Jen Vido: What inspired THE SHOP ON ROYAL STREET, the first book in the spin-off series based on the New York Times bestselling Tradd Street novels? Karen White:  Back in 2005, when I first started thinking about writing my first series, I wanted to set it in one of my favorite Southern cities—one with lots of history, gorgeous architecture, and—of course—ghosts!  Because I had attended Tulane University for four years, I was already familiar with New Orleans so it was an obvious choice.  But then Hurricane Katrina came along and changed direction for that first series that eventually became the seven-book Tradd Street series set in Charleston.  Seventeen years later, it was hard to close the door too permanently on those characters or the ghostly elements.  It was natural to think spin-off, with fan-favorite character Nola Trenholm leading the new cast, and to return to the original setting of New Orleans.  And that is how The Shop on Royal Street was born!   Jen: Why did you select New Orleans as the backdrop for this new series? Do you have a connection to The Big Easy? Karen:  I spent four of my formative years in The Big Easy while in…
