Get Your Free Copy of Whispers from the Grave

Documented haunted history and literary Southern Gothic fiction in one collection. If you're new to my work, this is the best place to start.

Whispers from the Grave takes you to three historically significant Southern locations where the past refuses to stay buried:

• All Saints Cemetery, South Carolina - Where the legend of Alice Flagg has captivated visitors for generations

• Metairie Cemetery, New Orleans - Built on an old racetrack, home to a police chief whose murder sparked one of America's darkest chapters

• Grancer Harrison's Cemetery, Alabama - The final resting place of a man whose Saturday night dances may continue even after death

Each location gets the full treatment: meticulous historical research followed by an atmospheric fictional story that brings the documented past to life.

What Makes This Collection Unique

Most ghost stories skip the real history.

Whispers from the Grave does not.

Each chapter begins with documented historical research drawn from archives, court records, and firsthand accounts. Then the setting returns in a fictional narrative inspired by those same places.

You get both:
• The verified past
• The imagined echo

What You'll Discover Inside

Chapter 1: All Saints Cemetery - Pawleys Island, South Carolina Uncover the true story of Alice Flagg, separating documented history from romantic legend, then experience a fictional encounter with a mysterious figure searching for something lost long ago.

Chapter 2: Metairie Cemetery - New Orleans, Louisiana Investigate the real story behind Police Chief David Hennessy's 1890 murder and the tragic lynchings that followed, then witness a fictional meeting with a spirit seeking justice for the wrong men.

Chapter 3: Grancer Harrison's Cemetery - Kinston, Alabama Explore the documented life of William "Grancer" Harrison, a 1800s plantation owner who loved music and dancing, then read a chilling fictional account of what happens when the dead refuse to stop celebrating.

About This Collection

Whispers from the Grave bridges two sides of my work: investigative historical research and Southern Gothic fiction inspired by real landscapes.

Each location has been personally researched using archival sources and documented accounts. The fictional stories are not presented as fact, but as imaginative explorations of what these places might feel like when history lingers.
