Southwest Blend: I was on the Sunday Champagne Brunch live radio program March 9, 2008, and you can listen at Southwest Blend's podcast archive . Subject: My Kate Morgan book. The topic of the show at Southwest Blend Magazine was Historic Women of the Southwest. Read Book Review

Bay Books, Coronado: In Summer 2008 (TBD), I will do a talk/book signing at Coronado's premier indie bookstore, 1029 Orange Ave near the Hotel del Coronado.

World Class True Crime Mystery and Ghost Story: Dead Move: Kate Morgan and the Haunting Mystery of Coronado, a historical novel based on true fact by John T. Cullen -- the ghost from 1892 haunts the Hotel del Coronado to this day.World-Class Ghost Mystery: Recently I published a new book that totally redefines the story of the woman who haunts the Hotel del Coronado near San Diego. Using the hotel's own official book (Beautiful Stranger) and other resources, I found startling new evidence that turns the traditional legends on their head. The dead woman was not Kate Morgan, as is commonly supposed. Kate Morgan was the ringleader of a conspiracy to blackmail the owner of the Hotel del Coronado, John Spreckels. The woman who died was a beautiful young runaway from Detroit named Lizzie Wyllie.   [NOTE: I have republished it. The Second Edition is Nonfiction—True 1892 Crime—Famous Ghost Investigation. It should be for sale in May 2008, but is available to read in full, free and without obligation, right now. Click on the image to start reading.]   ..

Solved: the ancient mystery of the Sator Rebus from Classical Roman timesAncient Sator Mystery Solved? This mysterious palindrome was found throughout the Roman Empire. Its meaning was lost with the fall of Rome, and it became a symbol of witchcraft and superstition in the Middle Ages. For centuries, scholars have been trying to figure it out. I think I have found the solution. Read my conjecture.


Doom Spore San Diego: Invasion from the Fifth Kingdom
New Doom Spore cover more chilling than ever. San Diego bookstores are starting to carry it. San Diego means sunshine, beaches, and balmy breezes. But lurking under the surface, a dark side is set to explode in terror. An illicit pharmacology experiment has gone horribly wrong. A fungal invader has arrived from the South American jungles as quietly as the kiss of a stealthy breeze in the palm trees. A primordial enemy of man has been unleashed.

Lt. Linsey Simon of the San Diego Harbor Police and her husband, reporter Jack Simon, are thrust into a nightmare investigation. Mutated people stalk the streets. Rthless and cunning, they stop at nothing to serve their new masters. They are taking over one quiet neighborhood at a time--first one person, then two, then four... Doubling constantly, they will soon populate the entire earth unless Linsey and her few believing allies can stop them.

The horror begins in quiet, working class neighborhoods like Grantville, Serra Mesa, and Linda Vista. Kids like Jimmy Mendez and his cousin Maribel Walesky await the return of their merchant marine dads from a sea voyage to South America. Jimmy is the first to realize that the thing coming through the front door is not his dad--a spitting image, but with lifeless eyes and a ravenous hunger to spread the spores of a new gray dawn...Start reading the book, free and full, right now, and keep the light on all night. This disturbing story will haunt your thoughts for a long time.
