And Dismal Swamp in Suffolk is the biggest chapter-true ghost stories mixed with a lot of legends in what is a national park.

Well, these are nonfiction, meaning legends, with interviews and me investigating live, plus the history if history is connected to the place. Bacon's Castle -Allen House) is connected to the Bacon's Rebellion, the oldest brick building in US, and considered most haunted place in Virginia.

The editor of the World Upside Down Lovecraftian horror anthology my story is included, shared what the front and back cover for the paperback copy will look like. It may be out April 23rd.

Basically finished.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I do my editing 4 times, one with Grammarly, the other three myself. Then my editor at the publisher, does her edits. She used to do editing for the US Marine Corp, and she was an English major. Nothing of mine is self published.

I have 2. One is YA dark fantasy, second book in the Moon Ridge, Virginia trilogy. The other is my spicy dragon romantasy, Fire and Ice. Mostly done. Just need to add a few more chapters and editing chapters already done long ago. That goes off to my publisher so can get back to the YA for her.

Join me and author/editor @taramoeller.bsky.social this Saturday and Sunday, March 7-8, at Grimoire Academy's Gothic Market at Fredericksburg Convention Center in Fredericksburg, VA! We both will have our books. The hours are Noon-5:00 pm.
