Our newest book is Haunted Noble County, Indiana:

Noble County, Indiana, boasts small town charm, a State Park and lakes for recreation lovers, tourist attractions all year long … and ghosts.

The county’s only movie theater is patrolled by the well-known manager—who died in 1995. Two of the highest hills in the state are haunted, one after a hanging and another because of a murder immortalized by Indiana’s poet laureate. The sprawling Kneipp Sanitarium received a visit from the Virgin Mary herself, and became a battleground of good vs. evil. Then there’s The Thing in the Basement.

Join authors and historians Mark and Emily Hunter as they tour the dark and spooky corners of Noble County.

Our newest novel is the romantic comedy Coming Attractions ...more

How the Scrinch Loved Christmas ... Songs

Years ago I DJ’d part time at a local radio station (which figures into my novel Radio Red). I happened to be working when the boss decided it was time to start the Christmas season with the Gift of Music.
