Sailors swore they saw such creatures but lacked cameras to document rare sightings, so landlubbers attributed the outlandish claims to a trick of the eye or scurvy. (Wait, does scurvy bring about hallucinations or dementia? Well, they chalked it up to some kind of sea disease.)
I would've been one of the believing landlubbers. The unknown is all around us, and sometimes we don't even know that we don't know. Whenever possible, I write about the supernatural, particularly ghosts.
One is a practical guidebook in trying to prove whether or not ghosts are real:

Speaking of E.T.s, for a Weekly Reader publication, I pitched and wrote a short play about a strange visitor from another school...or possibly planet.
I've written several novels involving the supernatural. One is a quirky spin on werewolves, though you'd have a hard time knowing that from the title:

The following is my favorite of the bunch, partly because it focuses on a supernatural denizen that doesn't get as much attention as the ones above. Do you know that this is?:

Another I wrote, The Ghost Champion, is forthcoming. Exactly when?
Appropriately enough, that is still unknown.
