Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I'll be popping by here and there during the month if you have any questions about the book or anything else, really.
That said, don't feel you need to censor yourself if you're frustrated by or dislike something within the book. I'm very good with taking criticism. Not quite a masochist, but I do appreciate any comments and critique - even if you hate it! :D
One more thing before I skip out the door for a bit: there's a PREQUEL to Ghostland that I give away free for joining my website. It's not necessary to appreciate the novel (and is a bit different in style/tone), but I think it's a fun addition. Since you've been so kind as to choose my book for your group read, I'll pass along the HA-only FREEBIE LINK with no subscribing necessary. Hope you enjoy, and thank you again for your votes!

Duncan, thank you so much for your nice comments about HA. I know we all appreciate it.

Thank you, Duncan! I think interacting with the authors is one of the best things when reading a book. :)


Thanks for letting me hang out, Latasha!

I’m excited to read this and just bought it on my Kindle last week to read whether or not it was one of the months choices.
That’s pretty amazing that the author also sent a link to get a free copy! Makes me want to read it even more now just because, even though I paid for mine.
Thanks Duncan!
Happy Haunting everyone!

I am loving this one too, Kimberly! I am almost on sleepless nights here with this book! lol :)

I really love theme parks and there have been a lot of haunted theme park books but never a theme park where the haunting is the feature of the park. I also love Halloween haunts. So it was kind of a no-brainer for me. Glad you're enjoying it so far!

Thank you, Duncan!
I finished this last night! Fantastic idea and execution! I loved the addition of the "footnotes" so I could learn about each individual exhibition as I was reading along, instead of all at the end.
I think there is a lot of room for more with this "theme", and hope to see that in the future!

I’m loving the foot notes too. I when I was in Key West, I took a ghost tour. They told the group about Robert the Doll. He’s there on the island but I’m superstitious and did not go see him.

I've read books on the "haunted dolls"--some of those are creepier than any fiction I've ever read!

Yes! I didn't read all of it (that must have taken longer to put together than the novel!), but I read all of the Blog, and the "Know your Ghosts", as well as a few other features. :D

The website took a solid month. Was fun to do but other than the "blog" and "The Moving House" I didn't get any other writing done, and I was nearing the end of another novel.
Happy Reading!!
