Our newest book is Haunted Noble County, Indiana:

Noble County, Indiana, boasts small town charm, a State Park and lakes for recreation lovers, tourist attractions all year long … and ghosts.

The county’s only movie theater is patrolled by the well-known manager—who died in 1995. Two of the highest hills in the state are haunted, one after a hanging and another because of a murder immortalized by Indiana’s poet laureate. The sprawling Kneipp Sanitarium received a visit from the Virgin Mary herself, and became a battleground of good vs. evil. Then there’s The Thing in the Basement.

Join authors and historians Mark and Emily Hunter as they tour the dark and spooky corners of Noble County.

Our newest novel is the romantic comedy Coming Attractions ...more

Another Pessimistic Author Theory

I tested a theory this month, and sadly came to the conclusion that I was right. I've learned that my predictions and theories are usually only right if they're bad. Is that pessimism? Come to think of it, I should write a science fiction story about the subject. I could call it The Eeyore Presumption.

Anyway, I'm sure you all know that my novel Coming Attractions has been in the Smashwords Summer/ Read more of this blog post »

Mark Hunter liked an answer from Lucia Aurelys: What inspired you to write humorous fantasy for young readers? I've always loved the brilliant wit of Terry Pratchett and the magical world of Harry Potter. I wanted to create a story that brings that same lighter, fun, and adventurous feeling to children and anyone who loves a good laugh with their magic. Lucia Aurelys
