Meet I.R. Harris Weaver of Adult Fantasy Novels and Amazing Scarves

Isabella

My friend Isabella, well-known author of Adult Fantasy novels, is a master of many trades. She's also an artist and a master of the weave. This blog is intended to highlight some of those talents. Check out her many works- I'm sure that you'll want to read her books and buy a weave or two. - Rob


ISABELLA SAID:   I'm Isabella, the main weaver at Culloweaves! I'm also a wonky Dark Fantasy author over at I.R. Harris Books. When I'm not writing or weaving or editing or getting tangled in my yarn, I spend as much time as possible enjoying the incredible mountains that surround my home and hitting the ComiCon circuit. Oh, and I am for sure--a wonky weaver!

You can check out some of my  novels  at irharrisbooks.com

 As a writer by trade, I tend to not do any other writing whilst working on my novels--which is what I'm currently doing! :-) We're also gearing up to start our Con circuit over at I. R. Harris Books, which always proves to be an exciting time! Currently, Culloweaves and I. R. Harris Books are working to open an Etsy store: Studio Vudu--we're super thrilled with the prospects and are looking forward to this wonderful new venture. Studio Vudu will feature not only our stunning and unique textiles, but also a variety  of original mixed media art and Giclée prints. As an artist, it is my passion and my mission to encourage others to find their own creative voice, to realize their own creative potential and to utilize the healing power of art in their own lives.

Bear's Paranormal Investigation Part 5: Hill View Manor : The Results

This is the fifth installment with  my friend "Bear" Elliott as he goes on a paranormal investigation in a haunted location in Pennsylvania.

After a week of reviewing the audio, photos and my notes from the August 15th, 2015 paranormal investigation of the Hill View Manor in New Castle, Pennsylvania, the results are available for you to review. I have a couple interesting EVPs (Audio Recordings) and a possible orb that was caught on digital photography. Is this proof that there is life after death? I want to hear your thoughts on my findings.  - Bear

Great pictures from the New England Pet Expo! (Pets and the Afterlife appearance)

Had a great time at the New England Pet Expo this past weekend meeting people and talking about my book "Pets and the Afterlife" - as well as hearing some amazing stories from folks!!
I was joined by my good friend and amazing medium Ruthie Larkin aka the Beantown Medium (www.beantownmedium.com) who is also featured in the book, and she gave an amazing reading at the end of the event through a grey cat to a woman named Eileen. Ruthie even identified that the cat had a hip problem and the exact leg that the cat had issues with (and a lot more).
Here are some pictures from some of the great folks Ruthie and I met!  - Rob Gutro

Bear's Paranormal Investigation Part 3: Hill View Manor : Walk Through

When conducting a Ghost Hunt, it is always a good idea to start out going through the dwelling before starting the investigation. Commonly known as a "Walk Through", this will help you identify areas that you will want to focus on during the actual hunt. Walk Throughs are an important step on multiple levels. You can get to know the location, possible health hazards and those individuals with psychic abilities can get a "feel" for what you may encounter inside the structure. Let's take a look at what the Walk Through of Hill View Manor was like on August 15th, 2015.

Bear's Paranormal Investigation Part 2: Hill View Manor : History

Over the next 2 weeks, you can join my friend "Bear" Elliott as he goes on a paranormal investigation in a haunted location in Pennsylvania. This is part 2! 

Hill View Manor is located in New Castle, Pennsylvania and has a rich history that sets the stage for a great Ghost Story. The history of the location is just as important as the paranormal activities that are being reported. Some Ghost Hunting groups like to go into a dwelling with little knowledge of past events. I personally, think knowing the history of the location plays an important part in researching what you may encounter. Here is a brief overview of the interesting history of Hill View Manor for today's Bear With Me.  Bear Elliott
