published books draw on inspiration from her

Cherokee mother's people, stories from her dad's

Highland Scott heritage, and her own esoteric

studies. Her works embrace a touch of the

paranormal and a smidgen of history. She is hard at

work on Ghosts of the Secret Graves, the third book

in her YA paranormal mystery series. Ghosts of

Hanover Hall, and Ghosts of the Misty Woods, are now available. 

"Dear Sir or Madame, My name is Jarvis and I am contacting you today regarding my employer, Tony Stark of Stark Industries. Mr. Stark wanted to attend your Convention, colloquially referred to as a HallowCon. However, as Mr. Stark wishes to remain anonymous, he therefore requests that you facilitate the use of the following doppelganger, one Shawn Hatfield, to appear as Mr. Stark at your show. As I have the ability to access all computer data worldwide, I have sent this missive from Mr. Hatfield's account directly. As you will see, Mr. Hatfield has a following as the TN Iron Man on TikTok, so it will be believable that it is he, and not Mr. Stark that is attending your show. 

Mr. Hatfield is also an actor born on October 21, 1976 in San Antonio, Texas. He has done a lot of true crime shows and has been in Ozark and the TV Show Johnson. He is known for his role as Agent Calley on Super Heists, Bruce Adams on Storm of Suspicion and other roles. He has made several appearances on Snapped, Fatal Attraction, Vengeance: Killer Lovers, In Pursuit with John Walsh and Mark of a Serial Killer. He has also appeared in Ozark, Dolly Parton’s Dollywood Christmas Special, Johnson, George and Tammy, Chrisley Knows Best, and Landscape With Invisible Hand. He is an RDJ/Iron Man cosplayer and lookalike and travels the convention circuit in his downtime from acting.

Sincerely, Jarvis."
