   Autographed print copies of my novels CHOOSING CARTER and DEADLY STAR are available at The Haunted Book Shop. Anthologies in which I have stories are also available there.

   You can place an order for any book by any author with them. They’ll be happy to ship it to you or as a gift to someone you love.

   And here's a tip to help you out: next Sunday is Mother’s Day in the U.S. and a book would be the perfect gift. It’s always the right size; it’s non-fat, non-carb, and gluten- and sugar-free; plus it doesn't need watering yet doesn’t turn brown and wilt in a couple of days. And it's reusable!

   TO ORDER, contact The Haunted Bookshop here: The Haunted Bookshop
