Best YA Realistic Fiction-Fantasy Stories, Books, Series, Trilogy
Young adult, teen, supernatural, paranormal, time travel adventures inspired by the author’s true-life experiences.
This is for real. Many years ago, after my father died, there were a lot of paranormal events that happened in my family. At the time, my wife and I didn’t believe in the paranormal but that soon changed.
In fact, Barb and I spent several years after Dad died investigating such weird occurrences. In the end, we had so much research material that we wrote a nonfiction book about it all and even did radio interview/call-in programs across the U.S. and up into Canada.
That book, An Explosion of Being: An American Family’s Journey into the Psychic, was published across the world by a division of Prentice Hall.
But more recently though, I decided to write a series of fiction books for young adults and adults young at heart using my paranormal experiences as the inspiration for the wild and crazy plots of those books. As an old history teacher, I couldn’t resist creating this fictional world for young people.
Today, the title of that series is The St. Augustine Trilogy and it takes place in America’s oldest and most haunted city in the U.S., St. Augustine, Florida.
Trilogy Description
Told in his own words, this paranormal/historical series is a very personal account of fifteen-year-old Jeff Golden’s explosive coming of age in America’s oldest and most haunted city, St. Augustine, Florida.
Join Jeff and his girlfriend Carla as they experience mind-blowing events that threaten to destroy their very existence.
Follow the two teens as Lobo, the Native American shaman, tries to protect them from powerful forces beyond understanding. Be there when Jeff and Carla discover the depths of reality as well as their own powers to reshape what they find.
Two of the three books in the trilogy are available in both print and eBook formats at the moment, with the third book due for publication in 2015.
Check out the book descriptions you’ll find here and then click on the active links for each book to see the reviews on Amazon.com.
I’ve also include the book trailers for the two books already in print so you can get a real sense of the characters and the plot.
Below all that, I have included active links to some of the most interesting blog posts I’ve written on the paranormal.
Enjoy.
Sliding Beneath the Surface: The St. Augustine Trilogy, Book I
Description
In America’s oldest and most haunted city, St. Augustine, Florida, teenager Jeff Golden is in trouble. Horrible dreams won’t let him sleep, and he is up to his eyeballs in terrifying, paranormal experiences.
Finally, Jeff turns to his girlfriend Carla, and Lobo, the mysterious Native American shaman, for help. But what he discovers is a lot more than he bargained for.
A ghostly presence linked to a local historic cemetery is not only threatening Jeff’s sanity but his life as well. And before he knows what’s happening, Jeff finds both himself and Carla pulled into one of the nastiest and bloody events in Florida history. It is a place from which they may never escape.

An Explosion of Being: An American Family’s Journey into the Psychic.
The paranormal has been a part of my life for so long now that I’ve almost forgotten what it was like during the days when I regularly pooh-poohed such things.
To be perfectly honest, it took the death of my father many years ago to jump-start my transition from skeptic to believer. When our family lost Dad, really strange things started happening.
In the process, my wife Barbara and I had some fascinating experiences, learned a great deal and wrote about is all in the book you see here. This journey of ours included our children.
Published originally by Prentice Hall, this publication stirred up enough interest back in the day for Barb and me to do radio shows across the United States and in Canada.
To help others on a similar path of exploration, Barb and I ended our book with a chapter titled, “Revitalizing Your Natural Psychic Heritage.” In that chapter, we offer readers step-by-step suggestions, the kind of thing we wish we had had back when we first started probing into the unknown.
Our book may be ordered from any bookstore or on any large online book outlet. Again, here is the link to find the book on Amazon.com: An Explosion of Being: An American Family’s Journey into the Psychic.One more thing. As a former educator, I also publish a series of novels for young adults and adults young at heart that focus on the paranormal and historical. The setting for these books, titled The St. Augustine Trilogy, is the oldest and most haunted city in the U.S., St. Augustine, Florida.
I’m delighted to report that Book I of the trilogy, Sliding Beneath the Surface, is now being used in secondary school reading programs for motivation and skill building purposes.

“Written for Teens, but Interesting for Adults Also.”
Sliding Beneath the Surface. Paranromal & Historical. The St. Augustine Trilogy: Book I.
A review placed on Amazon by Not the boss.
“This was an entertaining book.
“The book basically was in the paranormal genre, which is a genre I’ve never cared for. However, I share the author’s love of history, and I’ve always intended to visit St. Augustine, which was the setting of the book.
“The author’s style was breezy and made the book easy to read.
“The book featured teenage characters and was intended for a young audience, but I still enjoyed it even at my advanced age.
“The best thing about the book was the author’s understanding of teenagers.
“It’s easy to become annoyed with teenagers, so I think the author’s genuine concern for teens and his understanding of the problems teens face in controlling their emotions was very refreshing.
“When reading the author’s short bio at the end of the Kindle version, the basis for his understanding approach was explained. He taught history to teens for years and also spent time working with troubled teens.
“I believe those were some lucky teens. I’m going to buy the next book in this series as soon as I post this review and also move St. Augustine up on my list of places to play tourist.”
