Hoia Baciu Forest

Set near the proximity of Cluj-Napoca near the northern border of Romania, the local superstition is that the forest is cursed and has become the home of the devil. Debate in paranormal circles rage as if the forest should be classified as haunted, UFO grounds, or a dimensional portal not unlike the Bermuda Triangle. All three activities, from ghosts and apparitions appearing, UFO sightings, and disappearances and unexplained missing time have occurred within the confines of the Hoia Baciu Forest. Since the first documented photographs of strange objects in the sky and bright lights with no apparent source, Hoia Baciu has been a place of speculation and mystery.

Ethan Drew

Continuing with the ‘Ghost Town’ themed blogs, which I’m still taking questions for, today I’m going to write about the main character in the first book, Ethan Drew. The first novel is seen through the eyes of Ethan, narrated from his journal. Ethan has no idea what he’s in for when he first arrives in Whiterock nor does he put the pieces together very quickly. The mystery surrounding the area engulfs him to the point that Ethan’s fate is intertwined with that of Whiterock.

Ghost Town Q&A Part 1

Since I’ve started writing and getting my novels published, I’ve had many people asking me questions about my ‘Ghost Town’ series of books. Through email, Facebook, and in person, there has been a great deal in interest in my writing projects. I thought I would take my next few blogs and write answers to some of the most common questions that I’ve been receiving. If you have any questions about the books, feel free to ask and I’ll answer them in the upcoming blog entries.
