The best part of writing books!
Everyday I am bombarded with book spam emails from people offering to get me thousands of reviews, interviews in the media, perfect placement in stores, access to their reader list etc.....The fun never ends.

Can't wait to listen to this!

Looks very interesting.

My Next Book--Who Cares!
I wanted to announce my upcoming new book title, but with all the chaos going on right now, I thought--no one would (or should) care--so instead I am posting my soothing picture of Lake Superior's shoreline instead.

The worst selling author on Amazon!
Just a reminder that most of your favorite books can be purchased directly from the author, or from an independent bookstore-- and you can stop giving Bezos all your money.

It is -42F in Wisconsin right now!
Perfect time for you to build the Wendigo. My friends at Northwoods Bricks have the perfect Wendigo set for you to create. www.northwoodsbricks.com/.../X5ZK4IXG...

This sounds very interesting.

Home is where the folklore is!
Just picked up this fantastic book by @lilithepunk.bsky.social showcasing all the weird folklore surrounding every part of the home. This will certainly change how you view your place.

I love the image of this guy...or girl? or thing?

Is the Paranormal Dead?
Nearly every conference that I know of have all reported much lower attendance-Other events have cancelled due to low interest-so my question is
Is interest in the supernatural waning?
Is it the economy?
Is it hard to focus on folklore with all the chaos going on?

Winter is here--Beware the Wendigo!
As if there is not already enough chaos in the world, it is also the season of the Wendigo. This is one of the most bizarre and scary legends out there. Keep yourself safe www.chadlewisresearch.com

Perfect Weather to Search for the Skunk Ape!
Back in the Big Cypress/ Fakahatchee Preserve in honor of my late nephew Nathan Lewis. This warn winter weather is making me lose my edge. Time to head back home to the frozen tundra.

2026--The year of reading!
I have set my 2026 reading goal at 1 book per week (52 books). Whether your goal is the same, or 1 book a month, or even 1 book a year--No matter how many books you read--it is better than none.

You must do this on New Year's Eve!
At midnight, do NOT forget to open a door or window on your home--- not only will it allow the new year into your home for a more healthy and prosperous year, more importantly it will allow everything negative about 2025 to escape your home.

Creature From Big Muddy (2021) A team of investigators sets out to validate one of the most storied legends in southern Illinois surrounding a mysterious killer river monster.

Add a Creature Feature to Your Weekend!
If you are looking for a cryptid documentary to enjoy be sure to check out Joe Tury's Creature From Big Muddy---which explores the legend of the Big Muddy Monster-- now free on Tubi!.

You will need more than milk & cookies on Christmas Eve!
Don't forget to leave out some rice porridge tonight for the little people (Nisse, Tomtem etc...) to ensure that your house/farm runs smooth. If you don't....well, let's just say you should not forget.

Books are the only thing keeping many of us sane.

Christmas is the time for seeing the future!
Remember, if you are reading a ghost story on Christmas Eve with your family, make sure that each person's shadow cast on the wall has a head--if not, that person will perish in the next 12 months.

If you survived the Solstice--Join me tonight!
Once again I will be on the Ground Zero Radio show at 11pm central talking about strange Christmas superstitions and folklore

Good news--You are almost safe!
Breathe easy, you are almost halfway through the Yule Lads terrorizing you. In a few days, one by one, the sinister creatures will start to return to their home and leave you in peace.

This is terrific.
