The worlds of the dead and the living are about to collide and Mara McKay is at ground zero. With her first book contract in hand, Mara sets up temporary residence in the hometown of the subject of her book, Ricard Fisher, a quirky physics professor. The bizarre circumstances surrounding his death, the day after their first meeting, cause Mara to question everything she has ever believed about life and death. Mara inadvertently edges closer to the world of the dead when she becomes involved with a handsome paranormal investigator and his team. Will Mara succumb to the erotic darkening dreams the Civil War spirits impose upon her, or can she fight them off and hold on to her own life? I started out in the 1970s as a National Park Service Ranger/Historian in Gettysburg, PA. I knew that I wanted to be a writer, so after five years with the NPS, I got the crazy idea that I should start my own research and writing company. Thus began Interpretive Enterprises. I spent several years as a freelance writer and wondering if I had lost my mind.My first book was a children's book: The Little Drummer Boy. It won an award and boosted my confidence. I had been collecting ghost stories of the Gettysburg area since I first arrived, so I decided to approach a local publisher to see if they'd be interested in a book about the Ghosts of Gettysburg. The first ghost book came out in 1991. Since then, I have written fifteen books, covering topics of historical interest, as well as the paranormal. My stories have been seen on The History Channel, A&E, The Discovery Channel, The Travel Channel, Unsolved Mysteries, The Biography Channel, and numerous regional television shows and heard on Coast to Coast AM, and regional radio.In 1994, I founded "The Ghosts of Gettysburg Candlelight Walking Tours®," a tour based on the stories in my book series. The tour company started out on a card table in the town square. The next year I rented office space at the corner of Baltimore St. and Steinwehr Ave. Finally, in 1997, I purchased the current headquarters building at 271 Baltimore St.
