New Book Deal Inked!

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.

 

New Examiner.com Articles

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.

Life's Gift Author Article

At the end of last year I was asked  to be a Life's Gift Friendship Author at LifesGift.com. LifesGift is a foundation that assists and supports Paranormal Communication Consultant Rick Hayes and his ability to aid people during their times of adversity. I'm slated to write two srticles this year and the first was just published to the LifesGift website.

"Development of a Paranormal Investigator" highlights my path from odd experiences as a young child, my spiritual upbringing, to my current involvement with ghost hunting. Visit LifesGift.com to read the article.

 

Appearance on The Haunted!

Members of Society of the Haunted, including myself, will be appearing on the newest episode of Animal Planet's The Haunted on April 1! This day will kick off the The Haunted's second season will a full day marathon, culminating in our season premiere episode at 10:00 PM EDT/9:00 PM CDT. Animal Planet has titled it "A Monster in the Closet" and described it as follows:

"After having unusual experiences in their home, a family calls upon a paranormal team and demonologist to help. When they try to banish the entity from the home, it violently possesses one of the family members, and literally enters her body."

If you're unable to catch it at that time, there is a repeat viewing that night at 12:00 AM EDT/11:00 PM CDT, April 2 at 6:00 AM EDT/5:00 AM CDT, and April 5 in conjunction with the other episode featuring Society of the Haunted members "Leave Now or Die" beginning at 10:00 PM EDT/9:00 PM CDT. Be sure to tune in!
