in Guthrie, OK. Becky Luker has graciously opened the inn for the night that was once a funeral home and it has been claimed that it has three ghosts as permanent residents. Her B&B is open weekends throughout the year. Be sure to check back to hear how I fared through my night of the paranormal!


After my stay in Guthrie, OK.- I am on my way to our great Southwest states of New Mexico and Arizona. This field research trip is my next step in getting ready for the newest adventure books that are sure to satisfy anyone's appetite for adventure!
