1. How long have you been involved in the paranormal and what got you interested in in? Like ALL of us---I have been interested in ghosts and hauntings since I was a little girl...I think the movie "Ghostbusters made me think how cool it would be to chase ghosts with a bunch of friends---and then it just grew into wanting to match history with the mystery.
2. What is the most exciting paranormal encounter that you have had? The most recent exciting encounter was when 4 of us girls were staying at the Joshua Tree Inn in CA and we invited the spirit of rock star Gram Parsons (who ODd' in Room 8 to come into our room--ROOM 7) We were sitting on our beds naming off all the rock stars who had stayed there when we suddenly heard a male voice as tho standing between the 2 beds. It was 3 words and we could not make it out at first...then we figure it out---Parsons had started performing with Emmy Lou Harris before he died---he said "Emmy Lou" I have since listened to him speak on youtube etc---and that WAS the voice we heard for sure!
3. What is the worst experience? Maybe not the worst---but most disturbing was when a young ghost lad from Bisbee hitchhiked home through me and it took me 3 days to convince him to leave my body and go back home...He finally did---but he certainly did suck up all my energy....I use better protection now!
4. How many books have you written on the topic and where is the best place for readers to purchase them? I have 3 books of ghosts out there: "Sleeping With Ghosts" "Grand Canyon Ghost Stories" "Graveyard Shift" and coming sometime this year "Dining With the Dead"......you can purchase on line at all the favorite book venues or simply contact me for an autographed copy.

Her upcoming project is a "Paranormal PJ Party 2" at a haunted B n B in Bisbee AZ---where everyone can kick back in their jammies and investigate all nite long---just like those PJ parties we had in our teens.
