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.
It dawned on me last night as I was falling asleep that I forgot to thank Ashley Pattison from Henry Holt and Co. for sending me Wendy Webb’s The Tale of Halcyon Crane to review. Without her contacting me I never would’ve had a copy of it to giveaway. So,Continue Reading
I forgot to draw the winner of Wendy Webb’s The Tale of Halcyon Crane yesterday. Please accept my apologies! We had six entrants. I gave them each a number based on the order in which they left their comment. Then I used one of my favorite free online toys, Random.org’sContinue Reading
Do you remember Elizabeth Eagan Cox, author of the Shannon Delaney paranormal mysteries? Her name might ring a bell because either you’re already familiar with her novels or because she also: Wrote a guest blog here about Colonial Williamsburg Helped HJ celebrate its one year anniversary by donating a copyContinue Reading
Kate Lang Johnson, who plays Tori Fairchild on NBC’s “Persons Unknown”, took some time to answer a few questions I had. I’m really excited about what she had to say. I hope you will be too. The Q&A follows below. I read that you’ve got “an appetite for travel andContinue Reading
I had the pleasure of receiving a complimentary copy of Wendy Webb’s The Tale of Halcyon Crane. I recently finished it and finally have the chance to review it. Because I’m a writer myself, I have a tendency to be overly critical of other writers. Especially ones who have writtenContinue Reading
Okay, so I’m not the brightest bulb in the box. Sometimes (most times) it takes me a few tries to get things right. When I started this Facebook page it was back during chemo days. (I blame that! Just kidding. Actually there was a reason for my madness…) Back thenContinue Reading
Haunts and Hounds is an apparel, gifts and accessories store that combines two of my loves: ghosts and haunted places plus animals. The “Haunts” part funds my activities as Director of Paranormal Tourism for Haunt Jaunts. The “Hounds” part keeps my pooch and trusty traveling companion, Murphy, in bones. AsContinue Reading
I’m fairly certain both Nathan from A State of Mind and Dinell from the Weekly Spectre have sent me Twibe invites on Twitter at one time or another. However, as I sometimes (most times) am, I can be a bit slow. I didn’t understand Twibes or how it all worked.Continue Reading
A while back Aldo Singer, a travel blogger for CheapOair, asked if I’d be interested in contributing a guest blog to the CheapOair.com WordPress blog. I asked if I could gear it towards paranormal tourism, and he said that sounded like a great idea. So, I finally worked something up.Continue Reading
2010 is a big celebration year for my husband and I. It was going to be anyway. It will start on September 7 with Wayne’s birthday. A week later I turn 40. Then two days after that we’ll celebrate 15 years married (not to mention 24 total together). However, sinceContinue Reading
I wrote about “Persons Unknown” a couple weeks back and what twisted fun it looked like. Julie over at Above the Norm has also been intrigued by the previews. (As have many others. She’s the only other one I knew who wrote about it though.) Kate Lang Johnson is oneContinue Reading
With summer in full swing, theme parks make for popular vacation destinations unto themselves. However, the heat, noise, crowds and lines don’t deter devout ghost enthusiasts from turning theme park excursions into Haunt Jaunts. Take Jessica from Ghost Stories and Haunted Places, for instance. She’s a perfect example. She’s definitelyContinue Reading
