I love abandoned Victorian homes and their once grand splendor. It makes me imagine what might go on inside them now. Here's a series of photos and what comes to my mind, a chilling story, told in one paragraph. She answered the door for the solicitor, inviting him in for tea and a chat. The teacup was chipped, filled with dust and leaves. The floors were bare. The salesman shifted on his seat that was covered in a white sheet, as were all the furnishings. Somewhere in a room upstairs, a music box played a childhood tune over and over again with false cheer. The vacuum dealer lowered his cup to the saucer only to be startled by a mouse scurrying across the floor, unnoticed by the homeowner. He stood up on quaking legs when his hostess guided him to the door, blocking it with her wide girth. She lifted the veil over her face to his complete and utter horror to find the visage of a monster starting back at him with all its three eyes. The nesting evil. The gargoyle-like man who roost...

Expect upcoming books by me that involve my take on lots of para-subjects. I've spent the past few years working on books that are both entertaining and informative. You may be aware of my two most popular books. Growing Up With Ghosts and Vacationing With Ghosts that show insight into my two childhood homes and the psychic child's perspective of how these things work. But, I have a very wide variety. I am sharing some trailers and info so you can decide.  Growing Up With Ghosts (Amazon paperback and Kindle). Short scenes collected together to show an accounting of the author's and her family view of their haunted estate in Northern Virginia that was once a Civil War Hospital. Vacationing With Ghosts (Amazon paperback and Kindle) The viewpoint of the author at her family's summer home on the Chesapeake and how she handled ghostly goings on. Paranormal Geeks (Amazon paperback, Kindle and Nook) An homage to paranormal geeks of all kinds, with interviews, categories, q...

I realized the other day that over the years, I've written books but I've not put them all in one place for y'all to peruse them and see what they're about. So, here goes - Abandoned Places: Abandoned Memories (Desert Edition) on Kindle , Nook and Print forms.  My dear friend and often co-author, Julie Ferguson did the photography and graphics for this unusual urban exploration book and I did 12 psychic reads on the locations. The combination shows the sad inhospitable locations nowadays and a story from their past brought to life that makes you realize events never actually end, they wait in stasis to be re-read. Was That a Ghost? This is on Kindle and Nook This book is my work as a paranormal investigator, psychic, and sometimes counselor, helping people to discern if something was paranormal or not. I take you through the "Trinity of Relevance," my own invention, that helps you not only in figuring out if something was paranormal, but can be applied t...

  Admittedly, one of my books that I find myself re-reading and re-reading and others have expressed a desire to have it in print form is now available on Createspace and Amazon in print!  A few of these stories my long-time readers might have read here on the blog, but the vast majority are all new and edgy. Don't Go There! A Flash Horror Anthology is a 322-page $11.99 book that is a huge collection of a wide variety of horror-themed short stories incluing things such as trolls, werewolves, zombies, vampires, scarecrows and more.  This is a unique collection because each story begins with a simple explanation of the plot, the word count and the approximate time it takes to read so you know how much time you have for each story.  It also has a bonus section of real-life stories of being in places alone that no one ever wants to go in alone. There is a lot of content here and all of it page turning, alone-at-night type stuff.

My newest book is out on Kindle and Nook ! This can be downloaded to your PC, Droid, IPAD or other device.

I share my secrets for blogging, how to grow your blog, the karma of the blog world, and samples of posts from my blog throughout the years as I evolved my style and my focus. You will not only see a blog grow, but a person live up to her potential. Blogging allows this and I can't say enough about how it helped me find myself, express myself, and find happiness and success, as well as my "tribe."

I have a new book out "Don't Go There! A Flash Horror Anthology" on Kindle and Nook! It's a compilation of horror short stories--16 of them! I not only gave readers a wide variety to get their chills on in this merry month of Samhain, but I also at the beginning of each story showed how many words it contains and how many minutes it takes to read. We love short stories, but sometimes we need to know how long it's going to be because we're reading at a bus stop or during a break, so I figured -- why not just reveal it? You'll find clowns and gnomes, zombies and cave creatures, werewolves and vampires, and so much more! There is also a bonus section you will enjoy. It's $2.99 on Kindle and Nook and don't forget, Kindle allows downloading to all devices and PC's too. No need for a reader! There are buttons on the right-hand side of the blog to go right to them. I am so in the mood for the season now!

If you've been reading my fictional short stories (tab above), you might wonder if after two nonfiction books, I might try my hand at horror writing. I decided not to try my hand, but to throw in my feet, legs, arms, head, body... I took the plunge! "Josiah: Undead Cowboy" is the first in my "Midnight Arroyo Series" of western twists on classic horror themes. This 99-cent novel is now available on Kindle and Nook today! Don't forget, Kindle allows it to be downloaded to your Droid, IPad, home PC--you don't need a reader. There are some very unusual and exciting twists in this vampire story. It even includes the ghost realm and the condition of vampirism, as well as what it's like to be an undead cowboy trying to do right and fighting his instincts, going up against some vampires in the abandoned gold mine. The story was inspired by a trip to an old dead mining town where I saw a cowboy sucking on a cigarette and leaned up against a wall, booted ank...

"Was That a Ghost?" by Gina Hana I am asked all the time, " hey, this thing happened to me, was it paranormal? " I've helped numerous people through the process of determination. No matter what the case, I took them through the same 3-point system to come out the other side with a "probably" or "probably not" result. This 3-point system I named "Trinity of Relevance" and it involves context, belief system and explanatory style. Those three components determine what might have colored your experience and perceptions or shown it to be strikingly authentically paranormal. I decided to put the process in a book with quizzes and lots of real life examples to help people through the Trinity of Relevance and into other realms such as haunted objects, haunted homes, those with latent psychic abilities and other paranormal oddities. I am proud of my book. I do not profess to know everything about how the paranormal world works. Anyone who te...

Answer this question by reading my book on Kindle and Nook. I hear this question sooooo often as an investigator, that I had to write a book about the subject. This takes people through the steps I take a client through to find out if what they experienced was paranormal or not and what to do once you determine if it was. These techniques don't just help in regards to the paranormal, but can be applied to anything that happens to you in life. I'm in the process of several other nonfiction books including one I'm doing with Julie called "Kickin' Up Dust!" I'll talk more about that when I get back from our ghost hunt in Tombstone next weekend. I have my book about psychics and how to develop your skills in the works too, as well as my entire western horror fiction novellas called the "Midnight Arroyo" series. The first installment, " Josiah: Undead Cowboy " is coming up on Memorial Day for 99 cents on Kindle and Nook. Remember, it can als...
