Tracking Dracula
Writing

This is the story of two men—one a writer, the other a warlord, who lived in different countries in different centuries, and how their lives intertwined to create the most memorable villain of all time—Count Dracula. In 1897 Bram Stoker’s novel, Dracula, launched an entire genre of literature and film about vampires. Join him as we track Dracula from a crypt in Dublin to the ruins of Whitby Abbey in England to castles in Romania once frequented by Vlad Tepes, aka “Vlad the Impaler.”

History and Haunting of Ireland
Writing

Experience History with a Paranormal Twist on an Armchair Tour Through Ireland. Ireland is famous for its “thin places,” a membrane or a thin layer between worlds that cross over each other. From pagan times to present, Ireland’s dark history has been recorded in its abbeys and churches, forts and castles, jails and graveyards by those who lived during those turbulent times and often perished because of them. Their ghosts are eyewitnesses to this history. Sometimes, they are the history.
