P>Review "A hilarious romp, with a cast of kooky characters, some of them ghosts, facing off against the mob and the CIA. Great characters, great writing, and a great story... Bravo. Encore, please." -S. Lee Manning, author of Trojan Horse, on The Journalist: A Paranormal Thriller"The perfect mix of witty characters, action, thrills... and Ghosts. Lots of them. And some romance; not too much, just the right amount. ...brilliant and entertaining." -Rara Avis NYC on The Journalist: A Paranormal Thriller About the Author: David Gardner grew up on a Wisconsin dairy farm, served in Army Special Forces and earned a Ph.D. in French from the University of Wisconsin.
