If someone had told me just a few years ago that I'd become an author I would have said they were nuts. But sometimes life has a way surprising us.
Through a series of mid-life events, (and no, it wasn't a mid-life crisis), I went through a career change from award winning but unfulfilled graphic designer to living history speaker to children's book author. My only regret now is that I didn't start writing 20 years ago. But then again, maybe it's those life experiences that happen along the way that makes us authors.
Accomplishments: Finalist - Indie Awards of Excellence - Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War a Luke and Jenny Adventure.
Honorable Mention Hollywood Book Festival - Gunfight at the O.K. Corral Luke and Jenny Visit Tombstone.

Gayle's Blog - The Adventures of an Accidental Ghost Hunter
I spend a lot of time in historic places,and I've discovered an occupational hazard is brushes with the paranormal.
I'm not a professional ghost hunter. I'm just there doing my own thing, be it performing as a storyteller at an event, having a book signing, or researching my next book. Most of the time I don't even know I've had a ghostly encounter until I get my pictures developed. That's what makes me The Accidental Ghost Hunter.
