Bird flying away into a wonderful sunrise.
I know quite a few of you have had an unexpected visitor, be it corporeal or paranormal. I guess I fall somewhere in between. I’d like to share with you my very recent paranormal experience. I’m still trying to decide if it was the unexpected visitor or was I? Here’s the background. My hubby and I decided to take a vacation, just the two of us. We didn’t plan on visiting anyone, so we were a bit quiet about where we were going. We decided to stay in the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan. Hubby registered in May for our few days in September to make sure we got the Mackinac Suite – it is one of the few with a balcony overlooking the island. At the time, I mentioned that the Grand Hotel is haunted, but to my knowledge, no one had reported any strange goings-on in the suite of rooms we reserved. Boy was I wrong.

Can you believe it’s Labor Day already? I’ve had my head in my book for so long that I missed summer. Oh I knew it was happening: my electric bill went up, the window shades went down, and my lawn went from spring-green to summer brown to this wonderful, rain-fed, lush carpet of emerald. In my basement office, PEEPs and I were already at the end of summer. Mia and Murphy were dealing with surprising happenings, both paranormal and human. Yes, PEEPs, the first draft is finished!

As some of you may have noticed, I’m not posting every week. This, basically, is because I’m busy writing book #20 Given Enough Rope of the Haunted Series. I become incredibly focused, and it’s hard to break away to ponder much else but PEEPs. So until I have the first draft finished, bear with me for the lateness of any extra communications.
Eternal Maze PEEPs Lite 3.1 is now in paperback! It will retail at $5.95 in the USA, £ 4.51 in the UK, and €5.35 in the European Union.
Read MoreI couldn’t think of any great additions to the human casting for PEEPs characters, so I’ve cast animals instead. This is a very silly blog post. It lacks logic and any attempt at true research. Enjoy! ~ The Red Pen.

Blog time again! I’m in the process of writing book #20 of the Haunted Series. Because of this, my mind is in another world, so forgive me if I’m a bit inattentive here and on FB for a while. Last week, a few readers asked me: if the Haunted Series were brought to the big or little screen, who would I see playing whom. I think the most difficult thing to do is to take a character I have created and try to find a human that looks like them to me.
In only two cases have I used a real life person as stimulus for a character. Jake was loosely taken from the WebGuy’s good friend, who is notoriously vague when it comes to answering questions. I thought this attitude would make for an ironic ghost in the computer system of PEEPs. The other character is Ed, aka He-who-walks-through-time. I took inspiration from Dwayne Johnson’s (The Rock) Scorpion King character for my Superhuman.

I’m back from my minibreak and ready to return to the first draft of book # 20, tentatively called “Give him enough rope.” This title occurred to me as I was driving per my navigation system’s instructions down a one-lane gravel road in the middle of nowhere. I thought, I’ll just not question the computer, and I continued on, giving it enough rope, so to speak. Uh oh. It was four tense miles, but I came out of it with a book title and a dust-covered vehicle. By the way, if you want to see the USA, now’s the time to do it. Gas prices are low and the navigation systems seem to be having fun and are taking us for a ride. Speaking of rides, Cid has been selling very well. Thank you to all who have purchased and read the first of the Cid Garrett P.I. series.

I am most pleased to announce that Cid, the first novel of the Cid Garrett P. I. series, is available on Amazon Kindle! Cid has stepped out from under the shadow of Mia and Ted Martin and is flying solo as a carpenter/paranormal investigator. Cid will still be part of PEEPs, but he will also have his own series of paranormal investigation books. This is ghost hunting done Cid-style.
