Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.

Not far from the mecca that Walt Disney turned into Disney World in Orlando is a little street called International Drive. If you’ve ever been to Orlando, you know there’s nothing small about International Drive. It’s studded with attractions, restaurants and hotels and can be a traffic nightmare. SpeakingContinue Reading
Just a quick FYI to let you know about something fun. My friend Chris Verstraete has a blog called GirlZombieAuthors. She’s participating in the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge (#AtoZ). She asked if I’d like to submit a guest post and maybe promote the Shadow People and CursedContinue Reading
There’s long been talk (more like wishful thinking) that there’d a sequel to the hit 1988 Beetlejuice movie. So will there be, or won’t there be?
