What better source for historical research of the Wild West than interviews with the people who lived that history? That’s the approach paranormal investigators Dwight and Rhonda Hull and Dan Baldwin take in Speaking With the Spirits of the Old Southwest and its companion Conversations With Spirits of the Southwest: More Adventures Into the Paranormal by DDR Publishing. Each chapter contains full transcripts of their extended spirit conversations, a history of the historical sites and personalities investigated, and details of their sometimes humorous and sometimes not-so-humorous travels to some of the most haunted sites of the Old Wild West. Available in paperback and ebook from Amazon/Kindle, D2D, Smashwords, B&N and others.
Speaking With the Spirits of the Old Southwest earned the finalist designation in the History Category of the New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards competition. Conversations With the Spirits was published in January of 2019 and has not yet be entered in this competition. Visit the website at www.beelieveparanormal.com.

Sparky and the King takes readers to the sleazy and dark corners of the 1060s Louisiana/Texas Gulf Coast. . Fidel Castro has just taken over Cuba, Jack Kennedy is in the White House, Organized Crime is moving in on the rock ’n’ roll industries, and Elvis Presley is preparing a comeback concert at the famous Louisiana Hayride now that he is out of the army. Enter Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby who is sent on a secret mission for the mob to stop the local Klan in Shreveport, Louisiana, and their hired international killer from assassinating “the King,” who they believe is a threat not only to their families, but to the entire nation. Ruby’s real challenge is finding a way to accomplish his mission and live to return to Dallas once his mission is complete because the mob kingpin hiring him believes that “three can keep a secret if two of them are dead.” This novel won the finalist designation in the New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards competition
