Several years ago, my daughter, Sarah, and her two-year old son, Ian, were staying with us for part of the summer. And when Sarah is home, the activity in our house increases. I think it’s because we have a little one in the house again and the “Grandma ghost” is trying to watch over him. …
World War II
Next week we celebrate Memorial Day. I thought this story in remembrance of World War II would be appropriate to share. My step-father was an Omaha Beach survivor, and the stories he told about the bombardment of the troops on the beach, the men drowning as they stepped off the carriers into the too-deep water,…
My Favorite Martian
Last week, as we were driving back and forth between our house and Idaho, my husband and I spent quality time listening to podcasts.

Kids Say the Darndest Things….
My dad was a Marine, so when I was young, we would move quite a bit. I was actually born in Hawaii, lived there a whole six months, and then we moved to Beaufort, South Carolina. I don’t remember the house we lived in, I was about three when we moved to Chicago. But my…

A distinct chill went up Professor Elaine Wright’s spine. She slowly turned around and her heart dropped when she saw the ghost of a young girl standing near the road. Like the other ghosts Elaine had encountered, the girl was translucent. Elaine could make out her features, but if she looked closely she could see…
My Interview with Jim Harold
I received a fun email today – my interview with Jim Harold was featured on his podcast this week. So, if you want to “hear” me and not just “read” me – here’s your chance. My interview is about at the ten minute mark – but the other stories are really cool, so you might…

Deadly Requests – A New Paranormal Short Story
Dead. She was sure of it. But with no bodies and no missing persons reports, who would believe her? The profile photos attached to the friend requests Police Officer JJ Victory received were disturbing. The women were posed to look relaxed, but their unseeing eyes told another story. Was she going to have to solve…
