Greetings,

Welcome to my very first newsletter! I have some book news to share, some exciting events coming up, and a couple of spooky situations to spotlight, so I thought this would be the best way to keep people informed. Scroll down for details.

If you didn't sign up for this newsletter and are not interested in having one more thing in your inbox, I totally get it. Please hit the unsubscribe link at the bottom, and I'll happily ghost you. But if you want to hear about my Spooky America books, learn where I'll be doing author events, and find out about the spirit that may or may not be haunting my office, stick around. These updates will arrive twice a month at the most.

Have a great day,

Carie

The Ghostly Tales of Delaware

My 5th book in the Spooky America series debuted on August 7th. This collection of true stories of the spirits haunting Delaware is perfect for kids (and adults) looking for a book to read by the campfire this fall. Want a signed copy? Send me a message!

Author Event at Interabang

Start off the spooky season with some ghost stories! Bring your kids to Interabang Books at 4pm on Friday, September 29th to hear me read from The Ghostly Tales of Dallas. Then check out some of the city's haunted locations on your way home.

Ghostly Encounters Too Close to Home

This is Indie, my adorable, rambunctious, one-year-old cat. A couple of weeks ago, I'm pretty sure he saw a ghost right next to the desk where I'm currently sitting. Watch a video of Indie's ghostly encounter on my blog.

Spooky Readings, Writing Workshops, & More

Know a teacher or librarian looking for a school visit this fall? I taught 7th grade English for 19 years and miss interacting with kids. I offer in-person & Zoom presentations for 5th-8th grade students.

A Botanist's Guide to Flowers and Fatality

Saffron Everleigh is a botanist in London in the 1920s who uses her knowledge of plants to help solve crimes. This sequel to A Botanist's Guide to Parties and Poisons is just as delightful as the first book. Kate Khavari's style of writing is enjoyable to read, and her characters keep me coming back for another chapter when I should be writing or doing laundry.
