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

Mark Hunter added a status update: Update on Hoosier Hysterical 2: the Wrath of Corn: https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2026... It turns out I made a bit of an accounting error, and my concern over the new book's word count is REALLY justified. Surprisingly, I'm not all that worried about it.
