I found a YA book series called "44" that I really enjoy and so I wrote to the author Jools Sinclair to let her know. It's one of the perks we enjoy in the world today...having the technology to contact an author almost instantly! Nowadays you can "friend" them on...

Can Writing and Reading About Ghosts Invoke Paranormal Activity?
Not too long ago I interviewed Tess Schafer, a medium who also happens to be the main character in my book "Be Still, My Love", and got her perspective on a few things. I truly enjoyed connecting with Tess and chatting with her. Yeah, I know, rather bizarre when you...

Ghosts and Dreams

The Wonders of Blogging and Social Media!
I've been writing stories since the age of eight. I was in the second grade and learning about the American Indians. I thought it must have been cool to be an Indian. And so I became one in my first story. I was "Moonchild" and I lived grand adventures in the...
