Virginia's
Haunted Historic Triangle
Kinney's 2011 interview with Neal Steele.
"Take a step back into ghostly history as you tour Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown in the Historic Triangle. Visit Jamestown Island where Captain John Smith and the first English colonists settled. Stroll around Yorktown and follow the same footsteps of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington as they walked along Duke of Gloucester Street. Hear odd noises and see apparitions at the Peyton Randolph House, Cornwallis's Cave, Wells's Corner, Sherwood Forest, the Rosewell Plantation, and many, many other places. Be prepared to get to know the ghosts of this Historic Triangle and its surrounding areas. They're dying for you to read their stories."
Review of Haunted Virginia: Legends, Myths and True Tales
Kinney's 2010 Interview with Neal Steele on XTRA 99.1FM
"I've always been a sucker for
books about ghosts, etc., and this is one of the best I've come across in quite
a while. Since I am a native of Virginia (born in Richmond in - I shudder to
admit it - 1945) it was of particular interest to me. Great stuff, including
some little known, but interesting facts about one of my favorite authors of the
macabre, Edgar Allen Poe. If you love ghosts, goblins and just plain spooky
stuff, this book is for you - a real winner. BOO!" --
By Joseph Perrone Jr.
Readers may also like to order Kinney's Haunted Richmond, Virginia. Apex Reviews describes the book: "Rather than a trumped-up collection of ghost stories designed to scare the bejesus out of fireside Boy Scout campers, Haunted Richmond is a thorough, informative, well-researched account of real history and its real consequences. Makes for perfect late night reading - just make sure all the windows and doors are locked first." Click here to view the Book trailer on YouTube.

About this Book
Many things scare us. But the most fearful things are those that infect our nightmares and visitations. Monsters from the closet or from another planet. Ghosts that haunt more than a house. Werewolves are not the only shapeshifters to beware of. Children can be taken from more than the human kind of monsters. Even normal things can be the start of a heart-pounding terror. Prepare to step beyond the door into Spectre Nightmares and Visitations. Just tell yourself they're only stories.

of
Being Familiar With a Witch --
an E-Book
"Tina Epson has tried to live as
normal a life as possible; working in a bookstore and hanging out with her best
friend Melanie. She's always wondered why bizarre things happen to and around
her, such as being followed around by cats. Now that her parents have moved off
to retire she feels more alone than ever. After a long line of non-existent
relationships, she wonders if she'll ever find the intimacy she's been craving
without the mishaps.
Charun, a sexy Incubus for centuries, is in charge of bringing Tina into her
powers as a witch. Now he's faced with the challenge of a demon army trying to
bring on an Armageddon and convincing Tina that she may be the only one that can
stop it from happening. The hard part, well trying not to stay hard.
Fast paced and HOT HOT HOT! Sapphire Phelan delivers a great erotic novella in
BEING FAMILIAR WITH A WITCH. Wonderful characters that you can't help but root
for as they find their way through a battle of good vs.evil. Great plot that
sucks you in from page one and doesn't let go. I know I will be looking forward
to more from Sapphire Phelan in the future!" -- Katy.
