I was born and raised in a small town in upstate South Carolina, where my journey as a writer began with blogging. What started as a simple way to share my thoughts and experiences eventually grew into something much more meaningful when I was encouraged to take my writing a step further. My first book, My Paranormal Life: A True Haunting, began as a private journal documenting my family’s experiences with what we believed to be a dark entity. As I continued to write and share my experiences, my journey took me even further. I went on to help co-found both a paranormal team and a cryptid team, allowing me to connect with others who have experienced things they could not easily explain. One of the things I treasure most about this journey is the opportunity to reach out to others and let them know they are not alone. Along the way, I have made many wonderful friends within both the paranormal and cryptid communities. Those friendships have opened the door for me to help others share their own stories. I understand firsthand how deeply personal and powerful these experiences can be. Everyone has a story, and I believe some stories deserve to be heard. By helping bring these experiences to the public, my hope is to contribute to further research and understanding in both fields while also giving those who share their stories a chance to find comfort, understanding, and perhaps even a sense of closure. It is truly an honor to be able to share these incredible accounts and bring you true stories of the unexplained. Thank you for joining me on this journey into the unknown.

Author Scam

I wanted to share something with you while it was still on my mind. I received a phone call the other evening around eight o'clock. ( I received the call on my home phone (landline) that has an unlisted number). I answered the phone, expecting it to be a telemarketer as it was an unknown number. To my surprise, a lady that called herself Wendy asked to speak with me. She knew my name. This got my attention. Then she asked me if I had written the book Sasquatch The Native Truth. I told her I had, and she began to talk about how well it was selling on Amazon. I was having some red flag warnings going off now. She asked me how I promoted my books. I let out a sigh and answered her question vaguely. I had no clue who this was, and I wasn't comfortable with her questions. By my tone of voice, she could tell that I was getting irritated. She asked if this was a bad time to talk. (It was 8:00 pm) I told her yes, and she said that she would call me back the next day. After hanging up the phone, I immediately Googled the number 619 514 3309. It showed that it belonged to Readers Magnet. And there were many cases against this company with the Better Business Bureau. It seems that their scam is to "help you promote your book" for only six hundred dollars! Now, this girl is ringing my phone off the hook. I wasn't going to speak to them anymore. But if she doesn't stop calling, I'll just have to tell her that I'm not going to be a part of their scam. If you are an author or know someone who is, please pass this information along. An Indy (Independent) Author has enough trouble without someone like this trying to sabotage them. https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/san-diego/profile/digital-marketing/readersmagnet-1126-172021180/complaints
