Book Review

Mushroom Clouds and Mushroom Men will introduce you to an exceptional and humble man that made cinematic history, give you a taste of what his life was like and finally take you on a tour of some of his most fantastic cinematic accomplishments.

Horror Fiction

There is a lot to like about Jennifer’s first published work of fiction. It contains characters that you can care about. They are like us but not us. Is this another universe maybe? Is it our world but another reality? Familiar places dot the landscape of her story but we’ve never been here before.

A group of friends go ghost hunting in an abandoned asylum. Their aim is to capture images and activity on camera of the supernatural kind. We begin the journey here and it is suspenseful.
