I am a part of a Leadership Lumpkin Class this year and we are working on a project that we were hoping you would like to be a part of. We are looking at making a Ghost Tour for Downton Dahlonega using barcodes and smartphone technology along with a brochure. We would upload details to a webiste that the barcode would link visitors too. We would love to talk with you over a phone conference to tap into some of your expertise and advice! Also, if you would be willing we would love to use some of your experiences with direct quotes from your book! We would be very appreciative and of course would allow you to preview anything before it went to print! Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you!

Might you be interested? It's beautiful, of course, and the surrounding fields, ponds, etc. would be at your disposal. We would ask that you give a reading and visit some classrooms, but otherwise, you would have most of your time free to write. I suggested you as our first resident. We would need to get central heat and air set up first.

What's the documentary about? -- and I assume you're doing the camerawork. I'll write you from my email address. Congrats and great to hear from you. Wonderful news, Leon!

I'm sure they're glad about it; I am. As for Brian, yes, he's still in the land of the . . . living. He's around on the web, although because he shares a name with the famous actor Brian Keith he can be hard to find. Here are urls for his blogspot (http://www.marcusreveals.blogspot.com), which includes contact information in his profile; and here's another link about his counseling services for those interested in an appointment (www.briankeithcounsel.com). Last I knew, he was still traveling to Dahlonega for regular sessions with clients there. My best -- and happy haunts -- to you. Hey, thanks for reading about Dahlonega’s haunts.

It was signed by YOU which is one of the reasons I bought it. Anyway, I read your book Dahlonega Haunts and was very much intrigued with the stories of the local haunts. I have to ask you.. what ever became of Brian Keith, and does he still have an office in Dahlonega? Please don't tell me he joined the spirit world. j/k Hey Amy, I recently visited Dahlonega and found your book in one of the local stores.

I've been sitting here half an hour editing and re-editing this post in order to answer you -- and in the end all I really have to say is that I was in middle-age before I let my long-nurtured distrust of "women," Woman, whatever, fall away. Now I find I thoroughly enjoy them, especially in groups. I'd love to hear more about this from you -- What you say about feeling less alone in the world of women, those words really intrigued me, Carol.

Anyway, I'm so much looking forward to more! Am a half-Italian northerner, basically, but follow and am very touched by your (and Rosemary Daniell's, although very different) work. There's something in it that makes me feel less alone in the world of women, somehow.
