A (very) mature new adult urban fan­tasy series that is scary, sexy and relat­able, filled with the super­nat­ural and things that go bump in the night.

In a large, flaky nut­shell, the Exper­i­ment in Ter­ror Series is an eight-part sci-fi/fantasy/horror series that revolves around a pair of ghost hunters. Well, aspir­ing ghost hunters, any­way. After film­ing a creepy expe­ri­ence in her uncle’s dilap­i­dated light­house, 22-year old Perry Palomino becomes a YouTube and inter­net star overnight. She attracts the atten­tion of Dex Foray, a pro­ducer and cam­era­man for a site that spe­cial­izes in var­i­ous webisodes, who con­vinces her to be a host for a low-budget ghost hunt­ing series. The only prob­lem is, nei­ther Perry or Dex are entirely “with it” — I mean, they see ghosts, after all. And when the duo isn’t wrestling with their very notion of real­ity, they’re grap­pling with a work­ing rela­tion­ship that’s deep-cut with sex­ual ten­sion. As the series moves on, lead­ing Perry and Dex to new locales and super­nat­ural sit­u­a­tions, their lives become more and more inter­twined, where they dis­cover that ghosts aren’t the only things that can haunt them.

Long before I was writ­ing arti­cles on music, I was writ­ing arti­cles on the film indus­try — the inde­pen­dent film indus­try in par­tic­u­lar. Hav­ing gone to school for film pro­duc­tion and screen­writ­ing, I had enough of an inter­est and back­ground to get into the nitty gritty.

I’ve had the travel bug ever since I was a lit­tle girl. With par­ents born in Nor­way and Fin­land, plus a flight atten­dant mother, it was only nat­ural that I was con­stantly jet­ting off some­where. All these years later and noth­ing has really changed. If any­thing, it’s got­ten worse. I blame the fact that instead of march­ing straight off to col­lege when I turned 18, I threw cau­tion to the wind, strapped on a back­pack and trav­eled by myself to New Zealand and Aus­tralia, spend­ing about six months there in total.

I’ve taught Eng­lish in Spain and Italy. I’ve back­packed solo around Europe for three months. I’ve sailed from Los Cabos to Puerto Val­larta, Mex­ico. And lately my music jour­nal­ism has taken me every­where from Fin­land to Poland to Los Ange­les, count­ing in numer­ous trips to San Fran­cisco. 2011 holds about the same, with Europe in July, plus San Fran­cisco, LA and…well, who knows. Luck­ily, now I can bring Exper­i­ment in Ter­ror every­where I go and share the fun.

I’ve writ­ten travel arti­cles on Spain:

Happy Trav­els!

To me, music is one of the high­est, purest forms of art on the planet. It’s right up there with the writ­ten word — and in some cases, it sur­passes it. Music has the abil­ity to shape and mold us, to make us feel, to make us live, all just by tick­ling the insides of our eardrums in the most pre­cise way. Music is life. Plain and sim­ple. No won­der music fea­tures quite heav­ily in the lives of Perry and Dex.

I guess it’s no sur­prise then that I’m also a free­lance music jour­nal­ist. I cur­rently write for Con­se­quence of Sound, Gad­fly Dreams and Amer­i­can Noise. You can read some of my work by click­ing on the links below.

Still inter­ested? Here’s what to expect from Dark­house:

“There’s always been some­thing a bit off about Perry Palomino. Though she’s been deal­ing with a quarter-life cri­sis and post-college syn­drome like any other twen­tysome­thing, she’s still not what you would call “ordi­nary.” For one thing, there’s her past which she likes to pre­tend never hap­pened, and then there’s the fact that she sees ghosts. Luck­ily for her, that all comes in handy when she stum­bles across Dex Foray, an eccen­tric pro­ducer for an upcom­ing web­cast on ghost hunters. Even though the show’s bud­get is non-existent and Dex him­self is a mad­den­ing enigma, Perry is instantly drawn into a world that both threat­ens her life and seduces her with a sense of impor­tance. Her uncle’s haunted light­house pro­vides the per­fect cat­a­lyst and back­drop for a hor­rific mys­tery that unrav­els the threads of Perry’s frag­ile san­ity and causes her to fall for a man, who, like the most dan­ger­ous of ghosts, may not be all that he seems.”
