Daydream Believers Books & Gifts
Ahead of Halloween and holiday gift-giving, I’ll be signing copies of my latest release, THE HAUNTED STATES OF AMERICA. This collection of 52 spooky stories features one from each state plus D. C. and Puerto Rico. I wrote Wisconsin’s wail-inducing tale. Trade reviewer Kirkus calls it “an entertaining, fright-filled geographical tour.”
I hope you’ll consider coming because Daydream Believers is a gem of a bookstore. Located in adorable Lake Mills (halfway between Milwaukee and Madison), Daydream Believers hosts many author events, serves fabulous coffee, and has gifts for all the people on your holiday list. If you haven’t been there yet, here’s your reason! Come say hi and see all the great gifts.

Boswell Book Company Haunted Halloween Story Hour
Trick or Treat is spooktacular, and I’m bloody thrilled to join in the bone-chilling fun. I’ll be reading my wail-inducing tale in THE HAUNTED STATES OF AMERICA, an anthology of 52 spooky stories, one from each state plus D. C. and Puerto Rico. You’ll never want to step into the Seven Bridges again.
Trade reviewer Kirkus raves…the anthology is “an entertaining, fright-filled geographical tour.” Please consider ordering it for the younger person in your life– even if they won’t read it until spooky season. Thanks, friend. 🙂

Books & Beer book club
This is a triple threat event on the spookiest day of the year! Book club founder Valerie Biel and I will be sharing the spotlight talking about THREE new releases! I can’t wait for this.
I’ll be talking about my latest release, THE HAUNTED STATES OF AMERICA, published by Macmillan. It’s a collection of 52 short stories, one from each state plus D.C. and Puerto Rico. I wrote Wisconsin’s wail-inducing tale.
Val will be releasing not one but TWO books of her own that evening: BEYOND THE CEMETERY GATE and HAVEN. Her stories are excellent, suspenseful reads. Val and I are critique partners and longtime friends, so I’ve had the immense honor and pleasure of beta reading her stories and helping get them ready for their release into the wider world, just as she’s done for me, including helping me shape my story in the anthology. It’s very fitting that we share this exciting day together.
This event promises to be great fun. Hope to see you there!
