Tonight I'll be doing an author reading at the Oregon Ghost Conference's Penning the Paranormal event. It's from 7-8:30pm Pacific Time (10-11:30 Eastern). It's a Zoom event hosted by Jeff Davis (one of the Weird Washington and Weird Oregon authors) and you can sign up here. It's free, and looks like it will be fun.

Talking to Paranormal Prowlers
Yesterday I was on the Paranormal Prowlers Podcast, which is the first podcast I've done in ages. I talked a little about how I came across Weird NJ, the Weird Ghosts book, Clinton Road, and my experiences with sleep paralysis. And I did this while managing what is either the worst allergy season I've ever … Continue reading Talking to Paranormal Prowlers
Weird Ghosts = Weird Hauntings
The book I worked on in 2006, Weird Hauntings, was out of print after having pretty decent sales in both hardcover and paperback (this was just before ebooks were a thing). Last year, my bosses at Weird NJ let me know that the publisher (not them) planned on re-issuing the book this fall. They were … Continue reading Weird Ghosts = Weird Hauntings

Home State Hauntings: True Stories of Ghostly Places in New Jersey is available through the magazine's online store, as well as their Amazon store. As you can … Continue reading Home State Hauntings now in print
A ghostly byline in the Asbury Park Press
One of the ghost stories that I wrote for Weird Encounters, about the Old Bernardsville Library, was republished today in the Asbury Park Press. It's fun to see my byline there, though the Press is veering pretty far north of their territory for this story. Fine by me! I'm grateful for the exposure. The story … Continue reading A ghostly byline in the Asbury Park Press
Home State Hauntings
I was pleasantly surprised last week when I saw that Weird N.J. released Home State Hauntings, a collection of ghost stories from around New Jersey. Some are new, and some are the best of what they've published in the magazine, books, and special editions over the years. It's the magazine's first true foray into eBook … Continue reading Home State Hauntings
