from Q with Tom Power
For years, TV writer Patrick Tarr has been writing scripts for shows like “Murdoch Mysteries,” “Cardinal” and “Saving Hope” — but his dream was always to write a book. Now, that dream has become a reality.

He joins guest host Gill Deacon to talk about reframing these events as a ghost story.
