Yesterday was my 31st birthday. I really had a hard time with 30 last year, but just tacking a “1” onto that dreaded “3” wasn’t as bad. We had a really busy, but fun, day. In the morning, Ed and I drove over to Milledgeville for the annual Hammock family BBQ. Our friend Chris’s brother …
The Goth Guide to Disneyland
While perusing the Internet last Friday (translation: slacking off), I stumbled across a website for an annual event called Bats Day in the Fun Park. Apparently, it’s a chance for all the goth kids of Southern California to descend on Disneyland for a day of black-clad revelry. This might come as a surprise to some, …
Well, that’s Nice
I’ve probably written enough over the years to fill several books, but much of it has been lost or misplaced. When I was Senior Editor at 2Wheel Tuner, I wrote a monthly column called “Head Case.” Today I came across this editorial from the February, 2008 issue, which never got published because I wrote a …

October has come and gone, which means my favorite holiday is over for another year. Halloween has turned into a month-long celebration for me, and I put my decorations out on October 1st this year. In fact, I still need to take them down – I’ve been sick the past few days and haven’t done …

What’s in a Name?
When I go to the bookstore, I often stop by the shelf that holds the local ghost books: stories about Atlanta, North Georgia, and yes, even the entire state. (Several others have beaten me to it, but it takes more than that to keep me down!) My husband and I stopped by last night and …
Paranormal Patience: The Nature of Publishing
Yes, I have finally broken down and decided to try out this whole blogging thing. The past six months have been incredibly busy, between doing work that I actually get paid for, and wrapping up the manuscript for Haunted Georgia. I got the bulk of the manuscript finished in only six months, including all of …
