Nice day at the Cleveland ParaCon Despite a fire alarm mid-discussion (lol), we had a dream team of some of my favorite people gathered to discuss "Haunted Castles of New England." Alex Matsuo, Leanna Renee Hieber and Jon Michael weighed in on some of the universal tropes explored in the book. And it was an excellent discussion. I wasn't expecting such a large crowd, but we were packed and I ended up selling out of my copies of my two new books that I brought to panel. I do have some backstock that I will bring to the panel tomorrow morning on Spectral Slander at 10 am at Dragon Con X-Track. You know how they say things happen for reasons? Well, I rescheduled my flight to Dragon Con X-Track to early tomorrow morning and guess what? Copies of my book, "Lizzie Borden & the Family Curse," just arrived. I'm in tears. It's so amazing. As you all know, this book is very near and dear to my heart. I absolutely love it. For those going to Dragon Con, I will have signed copies for sale! https://www.amazon.com/Lizzie-Borden-Family-Curse-Crime/dp/1467172146 I'm so excited that my upcoming book for the History Press' Spooky America series, "The Ghostly Tales of New England's Haunted Castles," is slotted for release on February 9, 2027! https://www.amazon.com/Ghostly-Englands-Haunted-Castles-America/dp/1467190136/ Happy to announce that one of my favorite fellow authors, J.W. Ocker, will unleash the Friday night keynote lecture on his book "The United States of Cryptids," on Friday, Oct. 2nd from 7 to 8 pm. I'm so excited that I will be heading to Provincetown again in October for a book signing at a date/location to be announced. Here's a photo from one of my very first book signings in 2013 at the Provincetown Library. Follow SamBaltrusis.com for details. Happy to announce that the add-on tickets to investigate the Lizzie Borden House at MASS ParaCon on Friday, October 2 are almost sold out! There's only a few left. For the record, they're not included in the standard VIP tickets. https://www.eventbrite.com/.../mass-paracon-2026-add-on... Filmed a segment in Salem today for a documentary scheduled for release in 2028. I'm very sad about this news, but I will not be able to attend the Smoky Mountain Terror this weekend in Kingsport, TN. I recently had a flare-up with my RA and my friend who was traveling with me was hospitalized. Good news? The organizers were kind enough to move our table to 2027. This lineup to this event is amazing and I can't wait to go. I was really looking forward to this, but because of my crazy work schedule, I'm not able to attend the Smoky Mountain Terror event next weekend in Tennessee. Good news is I will be at Dragon Con in Atlanta on Labor Day weekend. Without giving too much away, I was recently up for a fairly high-profile position that I ultimately didn’t get. It wasn’t a question of my qualifications, but rather my availability—especially with all of the events and commitments I have coming up. While I’m certainly disappointed, I truly believe things happen for a reason. In the end, I feel like this opened the door to other possibilities, and I’m excited to see where they lead. With my book "Lizzie Borden & the Family Curse" coming out October 13, I’m planning to weigh in on Ryan Murphy’s "Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story" during my spooky-season presentations.
