Once Haunted
Aging rock star Stevie Wilde knows about demons. He has been battling them for most of his career. Drugs, alcoholism, sex addiction – you name it, he’s tried it. But his days of selling out stadiums ended a long time ago.
In an effort to thrust himself back into the limelight, Stevie joins a team of paranormal investigators in an attempt to do something that has never been done before: they want to haunt a house that isn’t haunted, and Stevie is the best guy to foot the bill.
A psychic with a secret; a ghost hunter with a cancelled reality show; a skeptical ex-history professor; a wanna-be actor with anger issues; a fame-seeking director…all of them haunted by something from the past.
If the experiment succeeds, it could relaunch Stevie’s flailing career and he might just leave a legacy yet. But first he must exorcise his own demons, because sometimes the devil you know is better than the one you don’t.

A book about a reality show where people are trying to haunt a non-haunted house and inadvertently invite a guy who himself is the "haunted".
Think Brett Michaels and Paranormal Activity having a baby and you've got the gist.
OK I might be a bit biased on this one because I had an opportunity to read an early draft and offer the author feedback on content and editing. And JW was ridiculously open minded to it all and wrote some kickass shit in the acknowledgements section about me.
I live a dream-life sometimes. It's amazing to be trusted enough to play a role, no matter how tiny, in helping get awesome indie literature out in the world!
Check this one out. Not because I'm telling you to, or because I helped edit it, but because it deserves an audience.
