We All Have a Story to Tell
This past week at our Writers' Guild meet-up I was asked how many books I've sold. I was a bit embarrassed by my answer, but then I went on to explain that I hadn't actually marketed my book. I never created an authour platform. In other words, I didn't plan this book to be a … Continue reading We All Have a Story to Tell
Can Objects Be Haunted?
One of the stories coming up in my booklet is about a book my roommate (years ago) brought into our trailer. From the moment she got her hands on the book, she began to change - and not for the better. Since writing up the story, I've been looking everywhere for what the general consensus … Continue reading Can Objects Be Haunted?
Are Spirits Just Pure Energy or Something More?
This week, I started a booklet with a couple wild true paranormal stories, along with a couple articles that go with each story. Oddly, today I saw this video that Grant promoted on Instagram. It kinda goes along with my booklet, so I thought I'd share it with y'all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJS3JARznA8

The first reading is the Introduction only, but after that - the videos include a walk-through of the house where the story recorded … Continue reading Author Reading: Introduction
The Advantage of Blogging a Book
Back in September, I was at the annual Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant, WV. While enjoying the afternoon lectures on UFOs, the Mothman and the paranormal, I got a great idea for a book! I could write about growing up on a haunted farm! The paranormal is something I know about. I’m not an investigator, … Continue reading The Advantage of Blogging a Book
UFO and Paranormal Book is Live!
Exciting week! Yesterday, my "UFOs and Paranormal Activity on the Old Titus Dairy Farm" went live on Amazon! As a result, I had to delete most of the free version of the book here on my blog. But! You can pick up the book for a wee $2.99 for Kindle! This afternoon, I'll be recording … Continue reading UFO and Paranormal Book is Live!
The Race Against the Clock
Yesterday, I was fighting like crazy to meet my deadline for getting my book up on Amazon by midnight. I wanted to be able to say I published my first book in 2018. But, Murphy's Law was in command. By 3:15 P.M., my book was ready to go. The upload to Kindle Direct Publishing bounced, … Continue reading The Race Against the Clock
When Things Go Wrong
Publishing my first Kindle book has been an amazing, and frustrating challenge. I discovered that using Google docs was a huge mistake, as well as using a Chromebook for anything. What I find that makes writing easier is Scrivener or yWriter6. Unfortunately, Chromebook isn't compatible with any of the above - or anything else. So, … Continue reading When Things Go Wrong
