October 2020 – A Month to Reflect
It’s mid-October and – as 2021 looms in the future – I’m revisiting my ongoing projects.
Last month, I expected to update my older websites, work on books, and launch some new projects.
But, like many people in these turbulent times, I’m struggling to maintain my focus.
This is not a time to attempt multiple projects, all at once.
And, with the holidays ahead, I know the remainder of 2020 will be more busy, not less.
So, I’ve taken a fresh look at my priorities.
I’ve decided to focus on books, s...

Mid-September News (2020)
Since I last posted, I’ve completed a few projects. Others are still in-progress.
By late August, I knew that my trusty old computer needed to be retired. It was slowing down and doing odd things, like freezing for no apparent reason.
As I’m typing this, a shiny new computer is next to me, but I still need to transfer files and licenses and all that tedious stuff.
This means a few projects are running late, but I’m pleased with what has been accomplished.

August Updates – Books & Courses
It’s been a busy summer.
The Ghost Hunting for Beginners course is back online at Hallowfields.com.
Updating that course, I’ve focused on important points that new ghost hunters might not glean from watching TV shows.
I’ll probably expand the course, later, but – for now – it’s more current and complete than the previous version.
Meanwhile, I’m discovering more, older articles related to extreme theories about ghosts and haunted places. So, I’m adding them to the Broome Theory Posts list. (Today...

Friends and Readers
(Yes, I’ve returned to eerie illustrations after a moment of whimsy.)
This week, I’ve been thinking about my friends and readers. I’m shifting my writing emphasis… slightly.
Times are changing. I think people’s perspectives are, too, including mine.
Here’s how I look at my work and the the main interests of my readers.
Though there are few hard borders, I can establish three characteristics of those who read my articles and books.
Often, those characteristics overlap.
The believers
First, there ...

Yes, the graphic with this post is flippant. Perhaps even silly.
That’s deliberate.
It’s been brought to my attention that people who don’t know me very well… they think I take myself far more seriously than I do.
Am I sincere…? Y...

Ghost Hunting – 10 Abandoned, Haunted Places to Investigate?
Of course, Im always searching for spectacular sites that might be haunted.
Lately, Ive been exploring a resource Id overlooked. Its lists and articles about abandoned places.
This morning, I stumbled onto this article: 10 Hauntingly Beautiful Abandoned Places. They really are gorgeous.
Though some of them arent suited to investigations, others look ideal for paranormal research, if only for residual energy.
I havent plotted a ley line connecting them, but a line like that might be...

Reorganizing: Site News
You may have noticed that Hollow Hill has gone through several changes in the past month or so. We’ve been testing different designs, different navigation, and so on.
Long-term, I plan to update my websites’ older articles (and then restore those I’d removed from sites) and help each site’s visitors find exactly what they’re looking for.
First, I’m working on focus. Each site has a different purpose.
What’s where, site-by-site
This site (FionaBroome.com) is partly a blog, but mostly focuses on ...

Changes Ahead, Here
In the past couple of months, so much in our world has changed. It’s astonishing.
And, at my publisher’s urging, I’m shifting even more of my focus to books. That makes sense, since I’m in stay-at-home mode, anyway.
So, this website is changing to reflect that. It will feature more of my books as well as free downloads – worksheets, etc. – related to them.
My main publisher and I are still discussing whether I should have a separate blog for articles that aren’t specifically about my books.
Sinc...
