Ghosts of the Air: True Stories of Aerial Hauntings Review

I love "true" ghost stories, and this book sounded like it had some awesome ones to share. And it did! Some of them were truly freaky, so much so that you might have trouble believing that they actually happened. Whether they did or didn't, it's still fun to be spooked. I must be ready for Halloween because all I've wanted to read lately is spooky stuff. If you're in the same mood, this might be the book for you. It's not perfect by any means. It could use a good editor, and a couple of the stories left me scratching my head. By which I mean nothing paranormal or mind-bending seemed to happen. In one of the stories a 6 man crew was flying on a bomber, and for some reason, the pilot became convinced there was a seventh man on the plane. Why I don't know, it's never really made clear at all. Or maybe my reading comprehension is lacking! If you happen to read or have already read this book, kindly let me know what you got out of that tale. One other problem I had with the book, although it didn't stop me from finishing it, is the author is incredibly arrogant. Yes, I had to put that in italics, it was that bad. I've always heard pilots are arrogant, well this guy proves that beyond a shadow of a doubt. But if you can overlook that, it's worth a read.

Angel of Death by Adrian Ferrer Review

   Angel of Death takes place in Rome and revolves around a series of crimes that have a religious connotation. It was originally written in a different language, so there are a few grammar issues, but not enough to detract from the book. The book has a strong religious background; fans of Dan Brown's books will probably enjoy this one. I'm not overly religious, so someone that is will probably get a little more out of it than I did. I still enjoyed it immensely; for some reason, the book had a strong eighties movie feel to me. Perhaps I've been watching Stranger Things too much lately. But anyways, the hypothesis that the author presents in Angel of Death is certainly an interesting one, and the author has done a ton of research to back it up. The plot is well written; it doesn't move terribly fast but it's not slow either. To me it adds to the atmosphere and authenticity of the book; most police cases are solved in weeks, not days. For an indie book, this is one o

Megacon Orlando 2017 pictures

   I went last year to Megacon; it was fun but I had no plans to go again.  But my sister found out Richard Dean Anderson would be there, so off we went.  We grew up watching Macgyver (we loved   Macgyver) and Stargate, so it was pretty cool to get to meet him in person.  Would I do it again?  Eh probably not, personally I think celebrities are worshipped a little too much in America. He did seem like a down to earth person though; unfortunately I couldn't say the same for most of the people waiting in line to meet him. One guy was dressed in the standard uniform from Stargate; alas he was behind me in line so I missed that interaction. Honestly I felt a little (ok a lot) odd standing in line just so I could get someone's signature. Had it been any other actor, I would've bowed out of that experience quite happily. (I can't stress enough how much we loved Macgyver.)  I did take a few photos, not as many as last year, but I thought I'd post them in case you guys were
