Do you believe...?

Do you believe ghosts truly exist?  If so what form do they take?  Are all inherintly evil or do they carry the personna and personality they did in life?  The Wanderer of New Hope is said to inhabit the valley of New Hope Creek (now Jordan Lake) in central North Carolina but other such apparitions abound throughout the state, across the nation, and around the world. Have YOU ever had an encounter?

Meet the Author - American Tobacco Trail 2011 Season Kickoff

NO BOOKS TO SIGN YET, but if you want to come over to say 'Hi!' you might want to consider stopping by the American Tobacco Trail (ATT) New Hill Parking Area this Saturday for a bit.  The author will be at the North Carolina Railway Museum tent and table at this event, and you might learn some about the ATT as well.  After all that is prime stomping grounds for The Wanderer so we might even have an encounter!

The Wanderer of New Hope...

Have you ever gone walking around Jordan Lake in central North Carolina?  That man-made lake was originally the valley of New Hope Creek and the setting for a new novel by R.T.Crowley scheduled for release in mid-January of 2011 from Peak City Publishing of Apex, NC.  This blog will discuss the book and all the legends and tales included in it.  That way you may come to know what is happening the next time you venture out to Jordan Lake and feel the leaves move when there is no wind or see a pale yellow light flickering in the distance among the trees.  If that happens, you may be having your own encounter with The Wanderer of New Hope.
