Haunted Hoosier Halls is upon us!

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

After many months of waiting I am happy to announce that my book, Haunted Hoosier Halls: Indiana University, will be out August 28th, 2010!

Pre-orders are now open!

So if you would like a personally signed copy from me please send an e-mail to katklockow@gmail.com. Each copy is $16.99 plus shipping and paypal fees. The book is also available for pre-order on Amazon.com, but it doesn’t come with a personally signed or sketched cover.

There will be a book launch pot-luck in early September, location is to be announced at a later date.

Speaking of the month of September there is….

Getting my paranormal author groove on early, I’ll be attending Paranormacon as a vendor! This will be my first time at a paranormal convention as a full fledged author and I plan to have many goodies at the booth to satisfy even the most discerning of paranormal appetites…whatever that may be?

Paranormacon 2010 is in Fort Wayne, Indiana in the spooky and haunted Masonic Building September 10&11. Not only would I love the support of attendees visiting, but also the other various paranormal investigation teams who will also have booths there and In Nomine Paranormal Research who is holding the event. There will be two ghost hunts available later Friday and Saturday nights in the old Masonic Building. In my opinion this is one of the most reasonably priced paranormal conventions one can go to in the area, so if you are in the area and are up for a day of fun and a night of fright please say hello!

Please visit the Paranormacon website for details

Currently I’ve bumped the publication date of How to Hunt for Ghosts? it too can debut at the convention as a graphic novel. If you can imagine my studio is now swamped with sketches, books, and three very confused pet rabbits.

How to Hunt for Ghosts?

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Being on Dead Speak Paranormal Radio was awesome last week, I highly urge people to tune into Renee’s show every Sunday, she knows what questions to ask the guest. She’s been the first to ask me questions about Japanese supernatural urban legends and ghost tales, which is actually my specialty since I studied these tales for my duel majors (Anthropology and Japanese Language and Culture studies.) It was a great show, and next time I’ll have even MORE tales from old Japan to discuss!

Two weekends ago I attended the Queen City ParaCon as a VIP (happy birthday to me) and met Terri Garofalo the cartoonist for Entities-R-Us. Now my other big passion in life besides the paranormal is writing and illustrating comics, mostly long form ones. Since 2003 I’ve worked on a number of projects but had taken a break from doing comics in order to do Haunted Hoosier Halls and take care of family matters. After a lively discussion with her about graphic novels and comics I was convinced that creating a graphic novel about ghost hunting seemed like a pretty good idea.

It still is, there are few graphic novels (one that I can think of that is Japanese in origin) that handle the idea of paranormal investigation, although there are a few webcomics out there that to do. So look for How to Hunt for Ghosts or H2H4G on this website on its own page in the near future.

So, that’s what I’m working on. Haunted Hoosier Halls is still planned to come out this fall (no date specified). Pre-orders from me will go up soon, they will be personally signed by me with a little message in the cover.

Cheers & Happy Hauntings,

Kat
