Greetings from Murfreesboro, Tennessee!

But let's back up a few days . . .

We left our home in northern lower Michigan on Wednesday, and drove to Maumee, Ohio (just outside of Toledo). We stayed there overnight, and continued on to Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, on Thursday. Friday morning, we traveled to Allison Park (just outside of Pittsburg) for a visit to Winchester Thurston School. The visit was prompted by a couple of big Chiller fans, Alice and David Navedah. They have been big fans of my books for a long time!

Alice and David's mom and grandparents came to the school for the assembly:

Lily Munster, of course, is with us on our travels . . .

All the kids had a great time, but Lily Munster was bored . . .

The school presented us with a great gift basket with shirts and doggie treats! Thank you!

We had so much fun at Winchester Thurston! We really appreciate the warm welcome we received, and the great hospitality. Special thanks to Alice and David and their family!

Not far from the school, we visited an old castle . . .

Then, we were on the road again. Lily Munster loves to travel, but she spends most of the time napping . . .

We traveled to Beckley, West Virginia on Friday, where we spent the night. Yesterday, we made the beautiful trek through Virginia, all the way over to Murfreesboro, Tennessee. We'll be here all week for school visits, and (of course) the big World Premiere of American Chillers #21: Terrifying Toys of Tennessee!

And for those of you wondering what #22 will be: the book is finished, and it's called Nuclear Jellyfish of New Jersey. The book will be released in November. More details soon!

More updates later this week! Thanks for checking in!

Best wishes, happy reading, and . . . WRITE ON!
