I was contacted by Busch Gardens Williamsburg to do a book signing of some of my books during their HOWL-O-SCREAM event happening September through November 2 this year. I will be there only Friday evening, October 25, Saturday evening Saturday, October 26, and Sunday evening, October 27.
It will be their 25th year for the Halloween event. I will be in Der Marktplatz in Oktoberfest. Looking at the map for Howl-O-Scream, it will be called Shop of Horrors. I will be there at 6pm when the event begins, but I may be gone an hour earlier than the park's closing at 11pm. Friday and Saturday, and 10pm on Sunday, to be able and get to the parking lot and drive away from the park, to avoid the crowds exiting the park themselves.
You'll need to purchase a park admission ticket for one of the nights of Howl-O-Scream, in order to get to me and buy a book from the shop and have me sign it. The event price is included in the park admission. Directions to the park in Williamsburg: click here.

May 21, 2024 - I will be a guest at two Virginia conventions in the beginning of 2025. First one is MarsCon January 17, 18, and 19th. The other one is Convivial, which will be February 28, March 1, and March 2. Check Appearances at a Glance for where they will be, plus their websites. Both conventions' hotel rooms are set up to reserve and they will go fast, so reserve quickly if you plan to attend either one or both conventions.
May 13, 2024 - I am excited to share some great news.

Check Appearances at a Glance for time and more.
Second, I am working on a new nonfiction ghost book for Schiffer Publishing. The manuscript will be due November 15, 2024, so the book would be out in either late 2025 or in 2026. They tentatively have Ghosts of the Appalachian Trail, but I am hoping for more inclusive as there are cryptids, UFO encounters, and legends too. This will cover 14 states. There will be fewer photos as I won't be able to get to some states, but will have photos for Virginia, West Virginia, and some in North Carolina.
If you live in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Tennessee, and Georgia, and yes, even Virginia, North Carolina and West Virginia, not far from the Appalachian Trail and have a story for me, contact me here. The last date I will accept is October 31, 2024.
