After years of wandering the globe, I am currently in Placerville, California.
With its rich Gold Rush history and my diversified background in travel and tourism, I researched, wrote and began selling ghost tours across Gold Country.
The response has been terrific with clients coming from all over the globe to meet our "spirited" residents.
We have been praised in AAA's VIA magazine as well as Sacramento and Comstock magazines. Visitcalifornia.com listed us as the # 3 attraction out of the Top Ten ways to celebrate Wine Month - statewide. Considering we are in the biggest wine producing state in the US - having our "Grapes and Graves" tour honored was a big deal.
We hold nothing but 5-star ratings in TripAdvisor - so guests appreciate the hard work I put into our tours.
Come and let us scare you soon.
Here is how to find us.
Come with me as I take you along on my journeys. I agree with Mark Twain's quote. “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."

Gold Rush Ghosts - now a book.
Who knew after 20 years of being a writer that starting a tour company would result in a book deal?
The History Press contacted me after their Northern California rep saw our advertisement for ghost tours. Their Haunted America series required a book pertaining to the California Gold Rush.
Situated in Placerville, the former "Hangtown" of the raucous gold discovery era it became a natural fit.
I am not a paranormal expert. Our tours, and now the book heavily feature the historical aspect of the spirited past in the golden triad that also featured Coloma and Georgetown.
Amazon and Barnes and Noble sell my book as well as local merchants.
Here's the five-star review from the San Francisco Book Review.
Grab a copy and enjoy.
