New Book

During my school visits, I’m constantly asked by students, “When are you going to write your next book?” I now have an answer for them. I finished book number four this summer. The new book called Ghosts on the Coast takes Joey, Bobby and Katy to the historic cities of Savannah, Charleston and Pawleys Island, South Carolina. But they learn more than just history on this trip. They hear many of the traditional ghost stories that haunt those areas; and in fact, Bobby has a close encounter with one of them. The book is scheduled for release in November. Stay tuned.

School Visits.
