Kinney is an author of published horror, science fiction, fantasy, horror, poetry, and so far, two nonfiction paranormal books, Haunted Richmond, Virginia and Haunted Virginia: Legends, Myths and True Tales, both published by Schiffer Publishing.

Haunted Richmond, Virginia was nominated for Library of Virginia Literary Awards for 2007 and now, her second ghost book is nominated for the Library of Virginia Literary Awards too. Her erotic urban fantasy, Being Familiar With a Witch was a finalist for EPIC Awards 2010. Being Familiar With a Witch has taken third place in the novella category of The Prism Awards 2010.
Currently, she is working on Haunted Richmond II. Since she started to work on the ghost books, and since she always had an interest in the paranormal and myths and legends of the world since she was a child, she even joined a local paranormal investigation group to learn to do like it is done on the reality TV show, Ghost Hunters. In even doing her books, she has done investigations with some equipment, along with interviews, research and more. Experiencing the real thing and doing research on the paranormal hauntings has helped her a lot in her fiction, too. She will be talking about the paranormal, what sounds like a real ghost story, and what is a myth that can be proven false. And she will talk about how paranormal investigating is really done today, plus talk about what equipment that is used from Ghost Hunters plus other paranormal investigators. |
