Ghost Stories LIVE an Update

I'll be reading a piece at Ghost Stories LIVE at Blue Umbrella Books at 2 Main Street in Westfield, MA on Saturday evening, October 29th. The event runs from 7PM-9PM.

Originally I was going to do a reading from McLeary's Haunt which is included in the accompanying Ghost Stories LIVE anthology assembled for this event (there were a few copies available on Amazon). This story appears in my book Miss Peculiar's Haunting Tales, Volume III. It's set in an Irish pub. A male ghost haunts the basement and likes to pinch the lasses.

Then, Russell Atwood asked if I would read The Fly in the Ointment, a little bit of psychological unease prose I'd written awhile ago and included in a folder of materials at my author event this past October 8th. I agreed to read that instead since it's always been one of my favorite little creepy pieces.

And then...while assembling a new collection of tales, 13, I came across The Hour of Phantoms which is a ghost story and more in line with what will be presented the night of the 29th- ghost stories old, new and real. I sent an email to Russell who is hosting the event and heard back today that I have the green light to read this eerie little piece of prose instead...therefore, this is the final selection.

I will be reading The Hour of Phantoms on the 29th.

I don't know if the event will be recorded on video or not. Russell was practicing with the technology at my event earlier this month. If it is and it makes it to UTube I'll let you know. Otherwise, what I'm going to read is included in 13. The Fly in the Ointment is also in this collection. 13 will be available on Amazon after November 7th.

And when that happens I'll be moving from the haunting season into the holiday season (while writing a NaNo novel simultaneously and working full time...I am a busy bee!)
