Good news, the loose ends on my part for Haunted Hoosier Halls has been taken care of, now to sit and wait for the graphics department to do their magic on the rest of the book! With luck, there will be no more hiccups in this book’s publishing process!
Speaking of books, I’ve been working on pages for How to Hunt for Ghosts?
Cover splash page for How to Hunt for Ghosts?
More stuff to come, happy Wednesday!

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,

I’m happy to announce that this Sunday April 11th, 2010 I’ll be joining my friend and fellow IGT member Renee Graham on her paranormal talk show Dead Speak Paranormal Radio. It starts at 7pm (EST). We’re planning on discussing some of the locations visited for the book, Indiana ghostlore, and of course, Indiana’s urban legends. Please join us and visit the All Souls Paranormal Radio Network!
Cheers!

You guys may have noticed but I haven’t been around for about a month, reality being the way it is making posts can be a difficult thing to do sometimes. I may be a paranormal author but it isn’t the only thing I do, and recently I just have been devoting more time to other projects, unfortunatley that means the Urban Legends Tour has been put on the back-burner for a little while. Although no videos will be produced, I’ll have some amusing articles up for reading a few times a month. 
In book news, I’m working on the galley for Haunted Hoosier Halls. Fun times there. The galley is due next week to Schiffer, just in time for me to enjoy the Queen City ParaCon April 9th, where I have a VIP badge (a birthday present to myself).
That’s all I can say for now, thanks for reading!
