She has been a personal friend of mine for about 2 years now but I have been a fan of hers for many years prior. I would recommend to anyone getting involved in the paranormal field, or those who are just looking for some answers, to look in to Rosemary's books. She has never let TAPS down!"

"Rosemary Ellen Guiley is one of those treasures that we radio hosts hope to find. She has a movie star persona. The stories and events she tells grab you and pull you into a world of the supernatural, UFOs and even vampires. I would suggest that a dose of Rosemary inserted into your programming content is just

what the 'ratings' doctor would order."

Jerry Pippin, 40-year talk show veteran, The Jerry Pippin Show

"One of the highlights of The Larksville Ghost is the appearance by famed paranormal expert Rosemary Ellen Guiley, who plays herself in a clever cameo during the library scene. Miss Guiley believably performs her humorous bit with just the right amount of annoyed agitation."
