About this project
For generations, the people of Middletown Valley have told tales of the Snallygaster- a mysterious creature that dwells deep in the caves of South Mountain. Some say it’s a myth. Some say it’s real. But this Halloween, best friends Holly and Peter are finally going to get to the truth behind the legend…if it doesn’t get to them first!
In 2008, I published a non-fiction book about the Snallygaster, a local legend of Western Maryland. I have had the pleasure to promote "Snallygaster: the Lost Legend of Frederick County" through lectures and signings throughout the state.
Surprisingly, children have expressed a lot of enthusiasm for the book. Due to this interested market, I've recently finished a middle-reader novel about the local legend entitled "Beware, the Snallygaster."
The money I hope to raise through Kickstarter will be used to pay my editor, illustrator and graphic designer.
