Haunted Richmond as it is about Richmond, Virginia, and its surrounding counties. It’s an urban fantasy.įiona: How did you come up with the title? My first fiction novel was one I self-published myself, How the Vortex Changed My Life. I submitted a book proposal, it was accepted, I wrote the book, and since then, I had five books released from the publisher. She put out a call for anyone interested in writing “real ghost stories” in the MidAtlantic Horror Professionals forum. My editor, Dinah Roseberry, went to work for Schiffer Publishing, as head of their ghost book department. My first book technically was a nonfiction ghost book, Haunted Richmond. I guess I always since writing my first story as a kid.įiona: What inspired you to write your first book? I have been writing ever since.įiona: When did you first consider yourself a writer? The same magazine also published three more poems of mine later in the spring 1973. But I was first published in the spring of 1972 with three poems, “The Horse,” “The Leopard,” and “Sands of Time,” in Hyacinths and Biscuits Poetry Magazine. I began to write when I was in second grade, as I enjoyed making up stories, mostly at that time, science fiction and animal tales.
In a few weeks, I will have a nonfiction ghost book from Schiffer Publishing, Virginia’s Haunted Historic Triangle 2 nd Edition: Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown, and Other Haunted Locationscome out.įiona: When and why did you begin writing? First was an urban fantasy, “Last Chance,” in Fae Thee Well, a faery fiction anthologypublished by DreamPunk Press, two personal true ghost stories in Paranormal Encounters, a true ghost stories anthology published by Anubis Press, and a horror story, “The Orang Bati,” in Trick or Treat Thrillers 13 Backyard Monsters, the horror cryptid anthologypublished by Night Sky Book Services. I had three stories in three anthologies released since January. Our latest pet is Shade, a black female cat that turns five in September.
Besides writing (and acting if I can) I been doing a paranormal reality show, Paranormal World Seekers, produced by AVA Productions, and I review for I Smell Sheep Reviews. I’ve been married since 1977, and we have the one son. I have acted or done extra work in films and TV shows, along withstage plays. I been to college twice (back when I was 18, the second time earlier in this century). I was born in Omaha, Nebraska, but we moved to Northern California and lived there until 1985, when my husband, young son, and I moved out Chesterfield, Virginia, where we have been ever since. I will turn 65 this September.įiona: A little about your self (ie, your education, family life, etc.). Let’s get you introduced to everyone, shall we? Tell us your name.
