The Terminal People
Still growing up as a dead boy, “Spooky” Spencer Lawson is learning about the strange world he never asked to be a part of (which is a lot more interesting than math). When a mysterious stranger he meets in an alley appears to die after touching Spooky’s hand, Spooky begins to wonder how dangerous he really is, especially to the people he cares about.

This is the follow up to the critically acclaimed introductory book, The Spooky Chronicles: The Crooked Man.

Happy Birthday, Spooky!

Posted on September 13, 2011 by Kevin A. Ranson

The original idea of this character and the world he inhabits was born in 1999, as in “party like it’s.” I also kicked around the idea that Spencer was born on Friday the 13th, which seems a little cliche, but I thought it would be fun that occasionally his birthday would fall on a Friday. Today he turns twelve years old.

In any case, it just kind of happened that the series got going in such a way that the main character’s timeline is very close to real time, and rather than try to force things into being timeless (which is virtually impossible in a modern setting unless you dislocate your characters to an alien landscape), I decided to just run with it.

If you haven’t already, click the image or click here to order or download the book. If you haven’t seen it yet, click and watch the series ebook trailer.

Cover: The Terminal People

Posted on August 25, 2011 by Kevin A. Ranson

The Terminal PeopleSome of you already know the name of the second book in “The Spooky Chronicles” is called “The Terminal People.” The first chapter of that book is now also included at the end of the first book.

I’ve had more than a few people say, “I don’t like ebooks. Please kill a tree since it’s a renewable resource.” Done! Lulu.com is now the official print-on-demand supplier for The Spooky Chronicles and is available now. It’s $10.00 for the print version as opposed to $4.00 for the ebook, but it really looks nice. It’s available now at Lulu (click “Purchase” on the right side bar) and should appear on Amazon.com by the end of September (and officially on Kindle!)

I have also finished work on the cover for the second book. I previously previewed this on Facebook, but I’m putting it here as well. Enjoy! The second book will be out later this fall, hopefully before Spooky Empire the second week of October in Orlando, Florida.
