Spooky America News: A Cover Reveal & Interview!

Greetings, ghost story fans! I have some fun news to share.

First of all, I normally like to encourage people to get outside, enjoy nature, breathe some fresh air, and go exploring. But it is HOT down here in Texas right now. 🥵 Like, dangerously hot and also extremely humid. The combination makes me feel like this –> 🫠 every time I go outside. So if you live in my part of the world, now is a good time to put outdoor adventures on hold and stay inside reading a book or watching a little TV. I have a couple of recommendations for you.

First, if you live in North Texas, I suggest you tune in to Texas Today this Friday, June 23, at 11:30AM on NBC (KXAS channel 5) to hear me chat with Kirstin Dickerson about my most recent book in the Spooky America series, The Ghostly Tales of Dallas. This collection of true stories about haunted places in the DFW area is perfect for kids 8-12 years old who like reading about ghosts while also learning some local history. And you don’t need to wait for campfire weather to enjoy it. The book is a great addition to air-conditioned summer sleepovers, too!

If you’d like a copy, you can check your local bookstores or order from your favorite online booksellers, but you can also get a signed, personalized copy from me. Just send me an email through my contact page, and we’ll work out the details. The books are $12, including shipping.

For those of you who have already read The Ghostly Tales of Dallas and are still hungry for more spooky stories, I have good news. My next book, The Ghostly Tales of Delaware, comes out on August 7th! Let me tell you, The First State was really fun to write about. No matter where you live, if you like reading scary stuff, this collection of creepy characters will not disappoint. The book includes ghosts, witches, haunted churches, haunted bridges, and even a swamp monster. 😲

Check out the cover:

If you can’t wait, you can pre-order The Ghostly Tales of Delaware online, and it will arrive at your door on August 7th. But if you’d like a signed personalized copy of this book, let me know and I’ll reserve one for you that you can purchase directly from me a little later in August.

In the meantime, stay cool and stay alert. Some ghosts lurk where you least expect them… 👻
