Join us at New Orleans ParaCon this summer. Visit NewOrleansParaCon.com. As I gear up for the upcoming lecture season and the release of my book, "Lizzie Borden & the Family Curse," I revisited all three seasons of Ryan Murphy’s "Monster" series. I’ll be diving into some of the show’s inaccuracies in my talks, but despite a few glaring missteps, I’m still a fan of Murphy’s work. While I was in New York City, a camera crew approached me out of the hundreds of people walking around Central Park. When I asked what it was about, they said "it's about UFOs and the paranormal." The reporter had his hand around the microphone flag and I said, "this is a perfect topic for me." Well, about ten minutes into the interview and the reporter started asking me a lot about "aliens," i noticed that he was with NEWSMAX. So, when I said something like, "I have no problems talking about ghosts, but I am terrified of aliens," the cameraman chuckled, and now I know why. I suspect they were trying to twist my interview into some anti-immigration propaganda. As soon as I spotted the NEWSMAX logo, I told the reporter that I don't want to appear on his network. The following day, I received a request to appear on a legit documentary, so I strongly feel like everything happens for a reason. While I enjoy doing TV interviews and I was actually quite good in the interview for NEWSMAX, I refuse to do anything that challenges my personal ethics. At this point in my career, I have the power to say "no." Excited to announce that the following contributors have been selected for Volume 2 of Haunted Travels Anthology. The editorial board received so many outstanding submissions that we’ve decided to divide this latest batch into two volumes. The plan is to release Haunted Travels Volume 2 on June 13 and Volume 3 on November 13. Congratulations! In NYC for a few days to check out summer sublets. Look what showed up in my mailbox this morning—the latest issue of Haunted Magazine, featuring my article “The Blood Remembers.” And yes, for the record, I really did accidentally cut myself in an ancient family cemetery deep in the woods. Had a Poe of a day in Salem with @and_rew_war. So proud of Andrew Warburton. He is lecturing at the Gulu Gulu Cafe in Salem, MA as part of the Salem Literary Fest fundraiser.
