GHOSTS OF THE

BIG SANDY RIVER

Five Star Rated      

“Looking into these books, reading and escaping, you may begin to wonder what is real or fiction.”

Edward C. Hartshorn


New Book Release!

Ghosts of the Big Sandy River is a story

that takes place in Louisa, Kentucky, and Fort Gay, West Virginia. Both are real towns that I love to visit. In January of 2018, the tale came to me. I turned to my second eldest son, Scot, for input and research since he lived in Louisa for a few years. Plus, his family from his mother’s side living in both towns provided extra details. Scot was a substantial contributor to my information.

On April 25, 2018, a mere three months into the manuscript, Scot died of a heart attack at the age of forty-five. He is buried just outside of Fort Gay on Cyrus Mountain. It took me over a year to get back to working on our project. But I knew I had to finish it. Scot would have expected me to. 

The story follows brothers Clayton and Scot and their cousin Jaylynn on ghosts hunting ventures with a twist of local history mixed in. The kids soon discover that not all

demons are spectral when it comes to haunting humans. Sometimes death has nothing to do with dying.  I hope you enjoy the adventures – both real and imagined. Listed are several best seller books that I have co-authored or contributed with short stories. Ghosts of the Big Sandy River will be my debut book. I have multiple manuscripts in the works.
