Hey, everyone. I’m happy to report my missing muse has reappeared. I wrote a bit on my WIP this weekend and sent three chapters to my critique partners. I’m still behind in scheduling blog posts. In particular, research for Mystery Mondays has been lacking. I became aware of this week’s tale several years ago and... Continue Reading →
Hey everyone. Welcome to the first Mystery Monday of the new year. Today’s story dates back almost 150 years and is one of the greatest maritime mysteries of all time. The Mary Celeste was a 282-ton brigantine ship that left Staten Island, New York on November 7, 1872, bound for Genoa, Italy with a cargo... Continue Reading →
Hey everyone. After a month away for NaNoWriMo, I'm back. (More about that to come.) For this week’s Mystery Monday, I’m turning to the old west and the story of two famous outlaws. Wait a minute—you didn’t see Lefors out there, did you? Lefors? No, why? Thank God for that. For a moment there, I... Continue Reading →
Hey, everyone. I hope you enjoyed the Something Wicked tour last week. I had a blast hosting my fellow SE authors. But now, it's back to normal here. (Or as normal as it can get. LOL) Time for another Mystery Monday. The small East Texas town of Jefferson lies near the Louisiana border. At just... Continue Reading →

However, I chose towns places I have visited and taken part in a ghost walk or tour. The first is Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The picturesque town of Gettysburg lies in South Central Pennsylvania. In many ways,... Continue Reading →
Hey, everyone. This week I wrap up the “mission persons” theme of Mystery Monday. Not to say I won’t revisit similar stories in the future, but next week I’m shifting gears since it’s October and the month of Halloween. The disappearance of English settlers on Roanoke Island in 1590 is one of the oldest mysteries... Continue Reading →
Hey, everyone. Welcome to another Mystery Monday. This week’s story is no doubt, one of the strangest disappearances in modern history. It’s not hard to imagine a small plane like the one Amelia Earhart flew disappearing in 1937. Radio communications weren’t as sophisticated, and we didn’t have the benefit of satellite communication. But how does... Continue Reading →
Hey, everyone. It's time for another Mystery Monday. Two weeks ago, I posted about the strange disappearance of the Sodder children. Today and for the next couple of weeks, I'll continue the theme of missing persons. Most everyone has heard the name Amelia Earhart, the famed aviation pioneer who became the first female to fly...
