Brian Kannard [ Skull Duggery ]

After 11 years of working in the corporate world, Brian decided to leave his previous career behind. In December 2009, Brian published his first book Skullduggery 45 True Tales of Disturbing the Dead and in January 2010 Brian opened Grave Distractions Publications. Brian's company provides publishing and related services to independent authors. Brian caught the writing bug in 2006, when he began sharing my experiences as a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason and with the esoteric at the Grail Seekers blog. His articles on the esoteric have shown up in places like: CNN, Unexplained Mysteries, Coast to Coast AM, Red Ice Creations, From time to time, Brian is asked to speak on esoteric topics. Most notably in 2009 Brian was invited to present a lecture for the Pittsburgh Scottish Rite. Assisting Brian in his endeavors are my lovely wife Laura, young son Robert, and unholy black cat Preacher.
