Oh dear readers! Where does the time go? My hiatus from the virtual world is not without excuses but I won’t bore you with the reasons I have been under a rock until I can actually reveal them! Let’s just say I’ve got a new project cooking with my publisher that I am very excited …
It has been awhile since my last post, still recovering from Halloween mayhem I suppose. I have been enjoying the autumnal crispness settling into my bones, gladly awaiting the darkness of winter and the time of candlelight and ghosts. But what about the daylight hours? I had an interesting radio interview the other morning during …
It is nearly Halloween! I will have to post today as I will be well away from my computer come Halloween eve and Halloween night, what with freaky parties and tricks and treats. If you have the time to listen in on Halloween morning or evening, two shows will be on the air. The first …
It occurred to me that I hadn’t put the link to buy my book! You can, of course, order it anywhere books are sold, and notify me if you can’t find it. Here is the link to the publisher’s website: http://redwheelweiser.com/detail.html?id=9781578634644

Tonight I have an interview with Dave Schraeder from Darkness on the Edge of Town, a paranormal radio show. In honor of such a deep, dark night (a new moon too!) I thought I’d share this particularly gruesome story about a couple of brothers who owned a funeral home in Pennsylvania and were arrested in …
A funeral parlor in Pittsfield, Massachusetts goes to great lengths to keep business alive. The Devanny-Condron Funeral Home hopes that events such as a chili cook-off, a murder mystery show, an art walk and monthly birthday cakes at the Pittsfield Senior Center will serve as a reminder to folks that the Devanny-Condron Funeral Home is …
Now that it is just past midnight I am wired from having talked to the venerable George Noory on Coast to Coast. So many amazing callers stories too. What a great way to kick off October. A favorite freaky story that comes to mind after hearing a caller talk about “a dead man in the …
Recently I had the privilege of staying overnight at Preston Castle, an old boy’s reform school in Ione, California.
