Spirited History is a weekly podcast on Para-X Radio that takes a Historic look at locations throughout the US and world that have a Spirited past. I will be a guest on June 25, 2010 @ 9:00 PM EDT.

Topics we'll be discussing include "Ghosts of Maryland" and a number of locations I visited, history and tales from Maryland, investigating the paranormal, my love of mysteries and detective stories, my novel "Deadly Heirs," short stories I've written, upcoming events, and more!

Mark your calendars. I will be at the Central Branch of Howard County Library in Columbia, MD, on September 2, as part of my Ghosts of Maryland book tour. This is my second confirmed event for the tour, the first for Maryland, as I continue to line up venues. Ghosts of Maryland will soon be available at HCL as well, and will also be available at Carroll County, Queen Anne's County, and Enoch Pratt libraries.

I will soon have a calendar page added to the web site that will better allow you to track where I will be and on which dates. The book tour begins in Louisville, KY, on August 27 and will end on Labor Day weekend. There may be other sporadic appearances throughout the year as well. Check back often for new details!

As you can see, the format of mikericksecker.com has been updated! Gone is the old flat file HTML site, and in is the new dynamic site powered by a content management system. I wanted to keep most of the look the same, but this will make it easier for me to give you, the readers and fans, more information and updates!

There will likely be a few kinks to work out and a bit more content to add over the coming days, so please bear with me in the transition. Also, I have included a secret link somewhere on the site that will take you to a special page that will later be updated with... well, that will be a surprise for later!

I also want to thank my son, Collin, for the "Eerie House" background art. This is the same image that has been featured on some of the Mike Ricksecker Mystery t-shirts. He has been busy working on artwork for the upcoming Chase Michael DeBarlo mini-mystery game due out in April.

Enjoy the new site!

The first stop for this summer's "Ghosts of Maryland" book tour has been set -- I'm going to be set up as a guest author at the 2nd Annual Psychic and Paranormal Gathering Event in Louisville, KY, on August 27 - 28.

More details will be coming for this and other events as they become officially booked. Also... I do still have some open dates August 30 - September 3 for organizations that would like to host me.
