Book Trailer for "Darkness in the World"


Darkness in the World is the third and final book in the SPRG Series, the college paranormal romance trilogy that's set entirely in Manila, Philippines. :-)

SPRG stands for "Student Paranormal Research Group," the university org that our heroine Samantha Davidson joins when she moves to the Philippines, hoping she could find answers about her disturbing experiences.

Watch the book trailer here:

SPRG Series Author A.S.Santos Talks to Tourism Students About the 6 Different Kinds of Paranormal Activity at Haunted Locations

Last September 27, 2014 the Tourism and Events Management students of Lyceum Philippines invited author A.S.Santos to talk about Dark Tourism in the Philippines



 

A.S.Santos is the author of the young adult paranormal romance novels under the SPRG Series (SPRG stands for Student Paranormal Research Group) and has done extensive research on the science, spirituality, and psychology of the paranormal. 




In order to help Tourism students understand the special considerations involved in putting together a haunted attraction or ghost hunting tour, A.S.Santos talked to them about "The Paranormal Side of Dark Tourism," particularly the 6 kinds of paranormal phenomena that may be present at haunted locations. 





The event was attended by about 200 tourism students from different universities.

Here are some of the snapshots. :-)

The most important thing in putting together ghost tours: RESPECT.
Respect the history, the rules, and the significance of a location.

A.S.Santos Finishes Book 3 of the SPRG Trilogy (Titled "Darkness in the World") During NaNoWriMo 2014



Although A.S.Santos finished the chapter outline of "Darkness in the World" in April 2014 (and even had the idea for the whole SPRG arc in 2010), the author used the NaNoWriMo fever to actually finish the last book of the Student Paranormal Research Group this November.

This is why "Darkness in the World" is coming out in digital format this December 2014 on Amazon, iTunes, Kobo, and GooglePlay, published by Flipreads.com. :-)
