I bought the book this afternoon and just finished it. I couldn’t put it down. I certainly have some ideas for ways to spend the boring summer nights in Marion next summer now. Great job!

Thanks for the kind words. You’ll have to let me know if you have any ‘interesting’ experiences!

I agree. I am definitely interested in buying your book. Halloween is almost here, and I will have to go to all these eerie hauntings. Crazy that I get on this site right after Brooke considering I know her.

I was just wondering how I could receive a copy of this book, seeing that my husband is mentioned in this book. I live in Massachusetts and they do not sell it out here that I am aware of.

I am sure a book store could order it or you could write to the Historical Society, and I think they would ship one to you. I saw the cost was $20.00. Was curious who your husband was and what his name was and why in would be connected with the house on Silver Street?
