Galloping Ghosts: a Collection of Stories Mary Clendenin

Exciting stories about mysterious happenings that may or may not have happened. Certainly, most were true to those involved. Some are stories that have been told and retold through the years. I grew up loving to hear and read stories that sent a shiver down my spine, that stimulated my imagination, such as stories by Edgar Allen Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Ryder Haggard. My dad read such stories to the whole family, and encouraged me to write. Dr. Mary Joe Clendenin, now retired, taught at all grade levels from first through university. A high school math teacher in New Mexico for 18 years, she was named teacher of the year for that state in 1965. She taught at Lubbock Christian University. Writing is a hobby. In retirement she writes a weekly newspaper column and for other publications.
