About
I am an author, freelance writer and website builder. I write about my two loves, the paranormal and the blues. The common ground between my loves is history. I love history. My latest book is The Irish Slaves, a non-fiction account of a little-known part of Irish history. The one before that was Haunted Marietta, written for the History Press about my town, Marietta, GA, which recently went into its second printing! I also wrote Ghost to Coast and Ghost to Coast Tours and Haunted Places. For the blues, I wrote T'ain't Nobody's Business If I Do, about women blues singers, and I write a column for examiner.com, Atlanta Blues Examiner. You can learn all about my websites, directories, and more about my books at the website listed above.

Story Behind The Book
I am fascinated by history, especially social history. I wanted to know the history of some of the Christmas songs and traditions that obviously predate the Christian holiday, so I began to write this little book. I added recipes for Wassail, gingerbread, plum pudding, etc., and sheet music for the songs, and thought it would make a great little Christmas gift book.
