The product of that is Majesty, a novella about a beautiful ghost and friendships that endure. What would you do if the ghost of someone you love appeared in front of you? Majesty is a beautiful ghost, with her hair of fire and eyes gray like smoke. That is Andy Fey’s first thought when the ghost of her best friend Majesty Hall appeared in her bedroom, only two months since her death. Majesty doesn’t know why she’s there, why only…
