Okay, so:

I am working on beating Sparrow Hill Road, aka, "The Further Adventures of Rose Marshall, Deeply Annoyed Hitchhiking Ghost," into book form.

We've met roadwitches and at least heard about ambulomancers (I'm blanking on if we've met them), but... who else is out there as far as humans interacting with both the ghosts and the open road? I'd be fascinated to see other psychopomp types ('cause we've already got Persephone involved, just sayin') or perhaps even humans who follow psychopomps - sort of the living equivalent of what Rose does from the other side....
