About

KARL PFEIFFER is a college student, ghost hunter, novelist, poet, and television personality. He lives in Fort Collins, Colorado where he usually attends Colorado State University.An Artist since he was young, Karl has always had a keen eye for the world around him and a sense of something beyond him. This has led to both his focus in college and an unsatisfied fascination with those things that linger in the night. Since before he can remember he has always had a serious draw toward the mysterious, be it ghosts, tales of the supernatural, aliens, ufology, cryptozoology, demonology, religion, philosophy, or that other great mystery; women.A voracious reader, Karl dabbled in novel-writing as early as middle school, crafting his first book midway through high school; a study in necessary evils and the sacrifices we must make for others. His primary pursuit now in college is Creative Writing, building a portfolio of short fiction, poetry, and various articles. He is presently at work on his second and third novels in addition to a slew of other projects that haunt his every waking hour. He's very dedicated. Obsessive, really. He's a slave to these dreams - but he doesn't sleep. He hopes brilliance takes him before the madness. Pray for him.Anyway.Around early 2009, Karl took his fascination with the supernatural to new levels, applying as an investigator with the Northern Colorado Paranormal Society (which has since disbanded). In August 2009, he was cast on, and later won, the Syfy network's pilot reality show GHOST HUNTERS ACADEMY, landing him a spot with the GHOST HUNTERS INTERNATIONAL team on the same network. After various casting changes on the show, Karl went back to school, where he still studies writing and religion. He worked for a year at the beautiful and haunted Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, leading weekend ghost hunts for the public and lecturing about the philosophies of paranormal research. He's also a staff writer for the TAPS Paramagazine and the Paranormal Pop Culture Blog. Today, Karl spends his time writing, attending classes, traveling, giving lectures, and continuing his research and observations in the field of paranormal research. If you'd like to have Karl come out for an event, please contact Mike Roberts at www.d-mentdentertainment.com/

Writing "We're in... territory [of] mystery and mysterious places... We and the characters seem to move across boundaries, real ones involving the landscape, and emotional ones, where the lines between dream, fantasy, and reality get blurred." -Leslee Becker, Author and Professor.A fan of those things that go bump in the dark and the gray space between human emotion in extremes and the supernatural, I dabble in a kind of cross-over embracing genre, be that defined for one story as horror, another as romance, another as suspense, drama, or literary, I write stories that move me. I've published three eStories that can be found on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Apple's website, in addition to many others, but the most constant way to purchase any story in any format is at www.Smashwords.com. There, you can purchase the books and download them in any format. My short stories are either .99$ or free. DESERTION is a story about growing up. About imagination. About brotherhood. DREAMLAND CROCOTTA is about a man who has hit rock bottom, and begins speaking with a voice from the woods.DISSOLUTION is a snapshot of two friends who come across a house that should not exist.GAME CHILDRN PLAY is a story of a girl in her mid-twenties and the monsters children see in the dark.I'm also in the process of completeing and marketing my first few novels, at this point titled HALLOWTIDE, A MATTER OF SEEING, and THE FOURTH WALL. Each in their own way are extremely different stories but all unite under the common elements I mentioned above. They're stories about humans and the cosmological answers we search for when we turn to religion, when we turn to ghost hunting, and when we turn to our other halves in bed at night. HALLOWTIDE is the story of a young man who wakes up in a shadowed world that he quickly learns seems to be Hell itself. A MATTER OF SEEING is about a soldier who suddenly and inexplicably finds himself home from war without explanation, pitting reason against true love. THE FOURTH WALL is a secretive project that combines both media and form into a journey beyond everything we experience in the world. It's the story of the life and death of a girl named Katie. I also work for the TAPS PARAMAGAZINE on staff as a contributing writer.
