More About the Author

I've always had an interest in the paranormal, despite a rather normal childhood in Brooklyn, NY.

I first 'met' Jason Specter a few years ago when I began to read the stories on his website, scarystatesof america.com. I have to admit I was hooked right away.

I challenged Jason to pick his favorites. I told him I'd like him to choose one story from each state. I then used my contacts in the publishing world to help get his stories into print. The result is the book: THE SCARY STATES OF AMERICA.

I hope you enjoy your journey through a world beyond that which we take for granted'the world of undead spirits, unearthly creatures, and unexplained lights in the sky. A world filled with out-of-body experiences and past lives recalled, or, as Jason likes to call this place, The Scary States of America.

This review is from: On the Move! (Jon Scieszka's Trucktown) (Board book)

Perhaps she loves the moving parts or the illustrations, who knows! My 5-month old daughter absolutely LOVES this book. I purchased all the books you're suppose to have for a baby, but THIS is the one that she goes for time after time. She even turns the pages herself. So funny!
