What's New

May 1, 2019 - The 13 Backyard Monsters anthology is now available in paperback. You can buy it at Amazon, same as the Kindle version. I ordered some copies and will have copies of it for the first time at Fandom Fest at the Grissom Library in Newport News May 11th.

Now for exciting news. I just received the first copy of Virginia's Haunted Historic Triangle 2nd Edition: Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown, and Other Haunted Locations along with a bottle of red wine from Schiffer Publishing. That means in 6-8 weeks the rest of the books will be arriving at Schiffer's warehouse, meaning earlier than the July 2019 release date. If you want a copy when it releases, you can preorder it at Schiffer Publishing or Amazon, though Schiffer will get it to you the fastest.

Apr 11, 2019 - I'll be signing copies of Virginia's Haunted Historic Triangle: Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown, and Other Haunted Locations and Haunted Virginia: Legends, Myths, and True Tales Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend at the Visitors Center for Colonial Williamsburg. Check Appearances at a Glance for the address and times and date.

Apr 8, 2019 - The Kindle for 13 Backyard Monsters is now live on Amazon! This contains my horror short fiction, "The Orang Bati," with 12 other scary tales. The link for it is here.

Also, I will be doing another event, Fandom Fest, at the Virgil I. Grissom Library from 10:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m. in Newport News, Virginia, on Saturday, May 11, 2019.

Mar 21, 2019 - I will be pitching my tent and doing the Fall Festival in Yorktown, Virginia, October 12, 2019. For the address and times, check Appearances at a Glance.

I am excited to announce that I, along with authors Susan Schwartz and Carol Smith, will be interviewed about our stories in the nonfiction true ghost stories anthology, Paranormal Encounters, on WTVR-6's Virginia This Morning on Wednesday, April 24, 2019. It will happen sometime between 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. If you cannot watch it or record the show, the video of the interview should be up on their website, Virginia This Morning | WTVR.com that afternoon after 2 p.m.

Mar 18, 2019 - I'll be doing a multi-author event at the Henrico County Public Library branch, Tuckahoe Area Library, from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m., Thursday, August 1, 2019. Check out Appearances at a Glance for the address and website link, plus more.

Mar 2, 2019 - I'm excited, as Paranormal Encounters was first released February 24, 2019, at Amazon in Kindle, and that day became a #1 new release bestseller in Occult Parapsychology! And now, it was released in paperback Friday, March 1st, in paperback. You can find the links at the cover on the Ghost Books page.

Feb 22, 2019 - I'm excited! My third ghost book, Virginia’s Haunted Historic Triangle: Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown, & Other Haunted Locations is going for its second printing. It will have an all new cover and book blurb, twenty additional pages with a new chapter, plus new stories added to other chapters, and ten new photos of ghost images. It releases at the end of July 2019 and is now available for preorder at Amazon and Shiffer. (I would suggest Schiffer, as the books come there first and those preorders are the first shipped out. It will be in your hands faster.) For more information about what's new, click here.

You can now see the cover for the upcoming ghost story anthology that will include two true ghost roes of mine, Paranormal Encounters, published by Anubis Press. View it here.

Jan 22, 2019 - I just signed two contracts for two true ghost stories that happened to me. Both tales will be in the anthology, Paranormal Encounters, to be published by Anubis Press sometime in 2019.

Nov 5, 2018 - I have disappointing news, but Arrohatc Comic Fest had to move to another date from March 9, 2019, and so, due to another possible event that happens on their new date the following weekend, I won't be doing Arrohatac.
