Well, I suppose the first post ought to be about me;

You already know quite a lot. This photo was taken at Hotel Thirty Thirty in Manhattan, in the shadow of the Empire State Building.  My wife, Debi and I spent one lovely summer exploring New York and Florida, and this was our first stop. The tour inspired me to write the 'Intrepid' series of novels, although I hit on the idea after watching the first launch of the space shuttle Columbia in 1981.

This corridor in the photo felt a bit still and eerie. Only later did I discover that our suite was directly below the hotel's famous haunted room - see 'Ghosts of New York City' by Therese Lanigan-Schmidt.  I've been interested in the paranormal since 2000, but more on that another day...
