T. M. Simmons

Trana Mae Simmons sold her first book two years from the time she started writing. After a decade and a dozen books in the romance genre, she now writes paranormal mysteries. The first book in her DEAD MAN series, DEAD MAN TALKING, was originally a release from Five Star Mystery. In addition to her writing, she enjoys developing her strengthening psychic powers. This has led her along the path of avid ghosthunting. Simmons delights in scaring herself silly at times during other-worldly encounters and has been known to visit graveyards in both the dark and full of the moon. She sometimes takes along her husband of 40+ years, Barney, to protect her from the bumps in the night, although he's been known to spy a ghost or two and retreat rather than confront. She's extremely willing to discuss her experiences with anyone she can corner.

Belle Brown, who started her down the paranormal path looking for ghosts years ago. Strange things happen when

 Simmons and Brown go hunting together: they see ghosts, they talk to ghosts, and every once in a while, ghosts pop into the pictures they snap. Their experiences include seeing whirlwinds of light, ghosts crawling in bed with them and scaring them silly…well, sillier, ghosts deciding to hitch a ride home with them, ghosts putting on a goodbye show, and many others. They've hunted in New Mexico; the Arlington Hotel in Hot Springs, Arkansas; The Myrtles in St. Francisville, as well as Natchitoches and New Orleans, Louisiana; Jefferson, and other Texas towns; Ohio; Wisconsin; and numerous graveyards and haunted buildings all over. Their favorite trip (so far) was to Cimarron, New Mexico, where they spent two days and nights all alone in the historical and haunted St. James Hotel.

Simmons lives in a haunted house in East Texas, which she shares with a variety of paranormal residents, a menagerie of pets, her husband and son. She believes in disciplining her ghosts, but visitors are forewarned to beware. Some overnight guests have left in the middle of the night; even some relatives refuse to accept her offer of a bed. But her ghosts don't only appear at night. Teddy loves to make himself known in the guest bathroom at all hours, especially to the male guests, and other paranormal boarders appear at opportune — and inopportune — times. She hopes you enjoy her web site and the pictures and stories.
