About Hunting the Haunted
Hunting the Haunted isn’t your average ghostly travelogue. It’s a road-worn, sarcasm-infused passport to the eeriest haunts, spookiest legends, and quirkiest roadside cemeteries you’d never visit if you weren’t into lipless grins. Think tour-guide-meets-skeptic-meets-that-one-friend who insists “ghosts are just misunderstood tourists.” Expect equal parts “did that statue just wink?” and “my car radio is broadcasting white noise again—ear plugs everyone?”
Perfect for adventurous readers with a hilarious mistrust of the paranormal, Hunting the Haunted throws you into spine-tingling locales—plus pit stops, snack tips, and “what-not-to-say-at-a-grave” etiquette.

About the Author
Kristina Powell-Raines is a semi-brave, carb-fueled scribe who roams haunted corridors in comfy shoes. A humorist who believes laughter is the best ghost magnet/repellent, she’s a chronic note-taker who’s never met a road sign she couldn’t mock lovingly. Raines brings authenticity, curiosity, and killer snack recommendations to each chilling chapter—guiding readers through eerie history with equal parts skepticism and wit.

Hunting the Haunted
A Wry, Road-Tripping Guide to Ghosts, History, and Snackable Mayhem…Coming Soon
Lyme, CT, 2025 — The author of Hunting the Haunted is tickled to announce a forthcoming guide that delivers equal parts spooky, snarky, and surprisingly handy. This travel-comedy hybrid takes readers off the beaten path—and possibly into the path of a mischievous apparition or two.
From silent cemeteries where headstones whisper secrets (if it’s not the wind), to creaking inns where the breakfast quinoa bowl may or may not come with extra spirit, Hunting the Haunted promises:
Real—but questionably supernatural—travel intel, like how to spot a grave that might be a portal…or just a sun-bleached stone.
Travel-savvy tips disguised as humorous survival instructions, including “What to say if a ghost asks for a nice corner to mope (answer: where the lighting is poor and the wi-fi is weak).”
Snack recommendations for the road, because confronting spirits on an empty stomach is never a good idea.
A narrator who’s equal parts guidebook geek and snarky skeptic: all for you, armed with a flashlight, eye-rolling commentary, and an appetite for fun.
Though still under wraps, Hunting the Haunted is officially labeled “Coming Soon.” Keep your eyes peeled—and your EMF meters handy (or not. Skeptics, rejoice).

PRESS RELEASE
Just Some Bullshit, Year Ten of My Midlife Crisis
Comedy audiobook
Funny in New England
Mrs. Kristina Raines is tickled to present her favorite audiobook of all time, Just Some Bullshit, Year Ten of My Midlife Crisis.
It’s a comedic if mildly horrifying look at her adulting about-face that some have heralded as “Pretty darned okay” and “…borderline funny.” (See real reviews here…then feel free to quote anything else in this release verbatim!)
It’s a stockpile of heavy dim-bulb-ery, a tiny twisted catalog of hilarious if erratic thoughts she’s tried her darndest to keep to her silly self this past decade or so.
As a big fan of nature, eating, complaining, funny stuff, snort-laughing, kibble comedy, run-on sentences, and off-road ATVing, Mrs. Raines felt driven to write about her distractions.
She also aims to make up for the multiple times she failed at being intelligent-adjacent, and instead sounded like a unicorn trainer choking on satire glitter.
Try not to gag on this mind-numbing mockumentary. Hear Mrs. Raines talking to her various personalities – her cats, the television, birds, butterflies, bees, slackers, cutters and peepers.
Bonus! Her silly household tips and ‘self-help’ lessons will make you roll your eyes so high it’ll tighten your skin better than a facelift. And make you think twice about being domestic.
Just Some Bullshit audiobook’s comedy is neither deep nor dreary…it’s a fun chuckle meant to put you in a kick-butt, dust-bunny-conquering mood!
For information about “Bullshit” humor that’ll make you laugh and smile like a horny weasel on meth, or to contact Mrs. Raines, email her here. Then to go back to MrsRaines.com to turn “Just Some Bullshit” into one of your favorite audiobooks!
