New Book Deal Inked!

Thursday, 26 May 2011 01:00

I've signed another book deal with Schiffer Publishing that I'm really excited about. Although they don't usually publish fiction, they are making an exception for a new book series called "Campfire Tales." These are essentially ghost story type tales you would tell around a campfire while roasting marshmallows, but the angle that has enabled this publisher to take on the project is that the tales are based off of local history or legends. Originally, if the project was given the green light I was going to take on the state of Oklahoma. However, I will now be taking on the entire Midwest region. I'm really excited about letting my creativity take off in these tales as well as researching about many other Midwest legends. Campfire Tales: The Midwest if slated for a Spring 2013 release.

I've recently become an Oklahoma City paranormal "examiner" at Examiner.com, which is essentially their term for describing a local columnist for their web site. While my article will require a local Oklahoma flavor, I will be touching on a variety of paranormal subjects. Already I've written a spotlight on Society of the Haunted, touched on our "Monster in the Closet" episode on Animal Planet's The Haunted, featured our University of Oklahoma Ellison Hall investigation, and I've written some basics about paranormal photography and audio capture.
