In 2013 the author asked the citizens of Lubbock for their personal ghost stories. He expected a handful at best. Instead, he got dozens. It turns out there are a lot of Lubbockites who have witnessed ghosts or spirits on the streets of Lubbock, in its schools or in its old buildings. These are their stories, in their own words. Darrell Maloney was born and raised in Lubbock. Many of his novels are set there. His best selling book, "The Secession of Texas," depicts Lubbock as a resounding success story for the new nation of Texas. All of Mr. Maloney's works are available on Amazon.com or from Barnes and Noble Booksellers in the United States, Europe, India and Asia.
