Know Your Cryptids: Monsters of the Atomic Age
The 1950s and 1960s saw so many UFO incidents, likely because so many people were already watching the skies. The high point of the Cold War, Americans were terrified that an atomic bomb like the ones released on Hiroshima and Nagasaki would be turned on them.

Excerpt from Midnight Radio, Coming April 22
Episode Five: A Special Broadcast “Lily! You made it!” Michael greeted me with a huge grin, flashing white teeth. He was sitting on the trunk of Brad’s old jalopy, feet tapping to the music coming from the radio. For once, it was an innocent Top 40 station; too early in the day for the ghost… Continue reading Excerpt from Midnight Radio, Coming April 22
Rainbows 2.0 (part 1)
Do you remember this? That is a rainbow sweater I spent....literally years on.
