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

Charge Away From Battery Fires! But Into Fire Safety.

I realized while putting together the mid-week photo blog (which was actually a fire safety blog this time) that the official theme for 2026's Fire Prevention Week is very similar to the one from last year. I was surprised, but it makes sense: fires involving charging and lithium-ion batteries have, shall we say, exploded, so I'm reposting last year's blog about fire prevention.

Mark Hunter added a status update: We were supposed to charge into fire safety last year, too: https://markrhunter.blogspot.com/2026... Another attempt to make a serious subject funny, or at least kinda funny. I posted about fire safety mid-week, then realized last year's National Fire Safety Week blog was on a similar subject, and I get a charge out of repeating myself.
