Joining us October 2–4, 2026, at the Taunton Conference Center are the incredible Thomas D’Agostino and Arlene Nicholson! These two are true trailblazers in the New England publishing world and come armed with some of my favorite regional titles, including "Ghosts of King Philip’s War "and "A Guide to Haunted New England." So excited about this amazing add-on at the New Orleans Paracon with the magical Patti Negri Psychic Medium. Love her! Go to NewOrleansParaCon.com. NEW DATE! Join author and clairvoyant Sam Baltrusis at the book launch of Sam's latest called "Haunted Castles of New England" on Saturday, August 15th. Andrew Warburton, author of "New England Fairies," will also attend and give a lecture. In addition to the book discussion, there will be an investigation and "Sam-ance" designed to communicate with the spirits of Wilson Castle respectfully. Also, there's an overnight "add-on" for those who wish to spend the night with the castle's ghosts. I just found out that my upcoming book, "Haunted Castles of New England," will be released on August 4, 2026. I was hoping for a June release so it wouldn't compete with my book on Lizzie Borden. However, the Haunted America series generally comes out August-October. So, I will have to reschedule my talks and launch party to August. The new date for the book launch at Wilson Castle is Saturday, August 15th. Pre-order here: https://www.amazon.com/Haunted-Castles-New-England-America/dp/1467170577 Happy to announce that the amazing Splintered Spirits podcast has signed on to be a media sponsor for MASS ParaCon Oct. 2-4, 2026 at the Taunton Conference Center. John from Santa Paranormal will unleash a solo live investigation on Friday, Oct. 2nd reporting from one of New England's most haunted locations. More details soon! Visit SplinteredSpirits.com or MASSParaCon.com. I’ve been so focused on recovering from a fairly serious illness that I forgot to pause and acknowledge something huge: I researched and wrote an entire book in less than three months. And it’s damn good. Good news is that we are opening up additional space at MASS ParaCon to allow for a killer collaboration that will be announced soon. This additional space opened up a few more vendor/exhibition tables for the Saturday, Oct. 3rd lecture and event series. Looking for podcasters, authors, artists, and content creators for the remaining tables. Reserve your spot here: https://massparacon.square.site/product/mass-paracon-2026-october-2-4-2026-/46 I went to the Urgent Care yesterday after another flare-up with the post-viral syndrome. They did an X-Ray on my lungs and a EKG on my heart, and both are good! However, I was told that I can't fly for the next few weeks until I heal from the RSV and still dealing with post-viral syndrome. I was seriously worried that I had pneumonia, so I am grateful that I don't and I do feel better today. But It seems that I get sick again every time I fly, so I sadly can't do the Dead of Winter event this weekend in Illinois. I was looking forward to it, but I will be heading to my former home state in March for the Obscura ParaCon. My goal is to heal up by then so I can fly. I'm happy to announce that I will be returning to ConCarolinas on May 29th-31st as a featured guest in the paranormal track. My experience last year was absolutely incredible and I'm so grateful to return for a second year in a row. Visit ConCarolinas.org for more information. Heading back to Boston this morning after a great weekend at the Hanover Tavern ParaCon. Love spending time with my dear friend Heidi Kemper and absolutely adore her cousin Lindsay Fair. It was great seeing my friend Kimberly Sage at the Hanover Tavern ParaCon 2026. Can't wait for our upcoming collab at Belle Grove in May 22-24, 2026. Tickets are almost sold out! I love this picture! Such a fun dinner with friends.
