Presenting @ Forensic Ghost Excavation Congress – Convention

Thursday, 09 February 2012 00:00

June 22 - 24 I'll be presenting and giving a workshop about the relationship of history and the paranormal at the Forensic Ghost Excavation Congress – Convention.

Hosted by the Center for the Archaeological Studies of Presence through Ethnographic Research (CASPER), this convention is a multi-layered/multi-sensory approach to haunting phenomena at historical locations. This trans-disciplinary approach integrates:

Archaeology - investigate by layers of occupation and socio-cultural uncertainty;
Anthropology – an ethnographic radical-participatory, rather than physical, science focus;
Theatre – role, identity, scenery, script, and audience as essential elements of fieldwork;
History – local and regional; and
Multi-Species – ecologically-oriented landscape presence that includes the presence of flora, fauna, human, and “spirit” presence.

Deadly Heirs Now Available on Kindle!

Chase Michael DeBarlo is searching for Earl Kiddering's missing last will and testament once again, but this time he's doing so on Kindle! This first foray into the world of e-books is a second edition of my first mystery novel, Deadly Heirs. Most changes to the text are quite subtle, but there are also a number of extended scenes throughout the book.

Saying Earl Kiddering is rich is like saying Babe Ruth hit a couple of home runs, but saying he's dead is more accurate. A month after the billionaire drowns in his own swimming pool, Earl's great-niece hires private investigator Chase Michael DeBarlo to find Kiddering's missing will while other family members squabble over the fortune. Dark family secrets are uncovered during Chase's investigation, including adultery, and tax evasion -- and Earl's death continues to look less like an accident. In the meantime, Chase feels obligated to help his mother's friend, a lounge singer who fears she is being stalked. He reluctantly takes the case, fearing it may infringe on his time with the Kiddering case -- and it does. Deadly Heirs explores the loyalties (and disloyalties) of family bonds, exposes a private investigator's time-management crisis, and uncovers the corruption of a mysterious art market.
