This is the last site from my new book These Haunted Hills. I want to go back to Moonville and tackle the cemetery which I was unable to do the last few times I was there. They even have a festival in October which I wasn’t able to attend because it was like the week after my cancer diagnosis and I was not doing a thing to jeopardize my surgery, like say falling over a crumbling headstone.

Here’s a snippet of Josh with his good friend and fellow ghost hunter, Hunter.

Hunter brought his hand up sharply, aiming at a spot above the tunnel. The words Moonville stood out in brick relief over the opening, the M broken and more a suggestion of a letter at this point. Blue, red, yellow, and white graffiti sprawled in an ugly mishmash over the entire mouth of the tunnel.

“His ghost definitely is dickish.”

Still pointing, Hunter called out, “You throw something today, and you’ll regret it!” “What exactly do you plan to do if he does start his rock tossing fun?” Josh rolled his eyes.

If you want to learn more about Moonville, have Janette’s (whose books were mentioned in my author notes) trip out there.

Blurb:

Young wildlife conservation professor, Joshua Zimmerman, adores foxes, steampunk, and paranormal investigation. As a geek of the first order, Josh is a collector of nerdy memorabilia and tattoos, and he’s an avid steampunk cosplayer. When his favorite author hires him for some ghost hunting for his new project, Josh can hardly believe his luck.

As an author of the wildly successful urban fantasy series, The Green Tablet, Brendan Halloran should have it all. And he did until his young son, Connor, died of cancer. Heartbroken and drowning in grief, Brendan stops writing, stops living his life. His marriage has disintegrated, leaving Brendan trapped in the moment Connor died.

When Brendan rents a cabin in Ohio’s Hocking Hills, it’s ostensibly to research his next book, an adult paranormal tale. Brendan hires a local professor who is an expert on the paranormal, thinking if he does pull out of his tail spin and makes good on his plan to write a new book, he might as well do it right. And the perfect place to investigate could be the remains of an old hotel constructed to suit the serial killer who built it.

Brendan finds himself swept away, completely unprepared for the joy and enthusiasm Josh brings to everything he does. Step by step, Brendan reenters life. His head might not be convinced he’s ready to love again, but his heart disagrees. Unfortunately for him, the ghost is every bit as vicious as the killer was in life, and he and Joshua have a target on their backs.
