Here's my schedule for Dragon Con X-Track! So excited to return to Atlanta in September! I'm so excited! My author copies of "Haunted Castles of New England" arrived today! This book looks absolutely stunning! Order here: https://www.amazon.com/Haunted-Castles-New-England-America/dp/1467170577 The discounted combo tickets for the Lizzie Borden Experience with Patti Negri & Sam Baltrusis have SOLD OUT! We only have single tickets to the Friday 10/2 night ghost hunt at the Lizzie Borden House (10 pm-Midnight) and Saturday 10/3 "Spilling the Tea" event from 6 pm-7:30 pm. Tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mass-paracon-2026-add-on-lizzie-borden-experience-with-sam-patti-tickets-1995628303978 The release date for "Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story" was just announced. The eight-episode season will premiere on Netflix on September 17, 2026. Looking for a companion read? Pre-order my book, "Lizzie Borden & the Family Curse" here: https://www.amazon.com/Lizzie-Borden-Family-Curse-Crime/dp/1467172146 My book, "Haunted Castles of New England," officially launches today. Thank you to all of those who were interviewed for this book including John Zaffis, Joni Mayhan, Rob Thompson, David Bettencour from Belcourt of Newport, Leanna Renee Hieber, Monique Toosoon, The Radikals, Natalie Fowler, and, special thanks to Alex Matsuo for writing the foreword. This book looks stunning (although, I'm still waiting on my author copies lol). Good news is I've already finished the manuscript for the Spooky America version of this book and it turned out fantastic. Here's the link: I reunited with my high school friend, Julie, today at one of my new favorite restaurants, CW Fins, near my hotel in New Orleans. I lost my high school yearbook in the fire a few years ago, and she brought her copy so we could take a trip down memory lane. It was such a magical weekend. Thank you my friend for an excellent dinner and conversation. I'm just putting this out into the universe, but I'm feeling incredibly grateful and happy right now. ONLY TWO DISCOUNTED COMBOS LEFT! And just like that ... we only have two discounted add-on tickets for both Lizzie Borden House experiences left (Friday night investigation from 10 pm until midnight and Saturday tea from 6 to 7:30 pm). Once the combo sells out, the remaining individual tickets will be sold on Eventbrite: https://massparacon.square.site/product/mass-paracon-2026-october-2-4-2026-/46 I'm so excited about the Haunted Travels: Halloween Ball on Friday, October 30th. A question asked is if there will be an investigation as well? Yes, we will have an investigation and a Sam-ance. The idea is to use the "ball" as a trigger for the spirits so we will have investigations happening while we celebrate. Only a few tickets left! https://massparacon.square.site/ Calm after the storm. I had a rocky trip to Florida which led to a series of unfortunate events. My group from.Spirit Squad stepped up and sent positive vibes. Love them very much. I will say it was very hot in Florida, but grateful for the getaway. Next stop? New Orleans ParaCon next weekend. https://www.instagram.com/p/DbLuEZllQV1/ I just finished edits on "Lizzie Borden & the Family Curse" after a week of back and forth and I'm exhausted. Some books are quick and easy. This one was not. But, I have to say, it's fantastic. I'm so proud of this book. The goal was to have it finished before Ryan Murphy's "Monster" series on cousin Lizbeth comes out this fall. Don't be surprised if Murphy explores the Borden's cursed bloodline, with Sarah Paulson playing our other misunderstood cousin, Aileen Wuornos. Pre-order here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1467172146
