Pardon the self promo but it's that time of year. If you're looking for spooky season gifts or are holiday shopping for spooky kids (or grownups) I have some books that might interest you.
If you buy any of my books as gifts I'm happy to send you stickers, a bookmark, & a note to go with them.

Haunted places are right up my occult detective Jack Strange's alley. I visited Charleston, S.C. to do some legwork on a future case for him and I'm sharing the photos to prove it.

Per tradition, my wife made another great boo basket for my youngest this year, but I like my contribution by @lorasenf.bsky.social the best. You know I’ll be reading it too.

The Clackity (signed), The Nighthouse Keeper (first edition), and The Loneliest Place (first edition) all sit on my son’s bookshelf. You can bet Pennies will join them soon. If you enjoy scary middle grade, I highly recommend Lora’s books.
Just left a bunch of signed books at @auntiesbooks.bsky.social. They ship. 🖤
