Biography
Stuart Schneider lives just outside New York City. He is an accomplished photographer who currently scouts cemeteries in the day and sees and senses what is there. He returns at night to capture his images. One out of a hundred have something unusual, most do not. The color photos are evocative and draw you in as if you are actually standing there and seeing what the photographer saw and felt. These are not the typical orb or streak-type ghosts that ghost hunters often get, but full formed, vaporous apparitions. He has visited haunted cemeteries throughout the world. His latest books, "Ghosts In The Cemetery" and "Ghosts In The Cemetery II, Farther Afield" are best-selling works, melding storytelling, photography, and beautiful imagery together.

My other books cover the field of antiques and collectibles and fluorescent minerals. The photography is professional-grade. If you want to see what he is describing, the photographs easily show you. The different fields that I cover are a bit offbeat. My publisher asks me if anyone will buy (ie. Halloween In America) and I say yes (what else would I say?). Now, many of the books are in their 2nd and third editions, so people are buying them and saying nice things about them. If you want to delve further into my experiences, visit my website at wordcraft.net. I write what I am interested in and try to share my information with all my readers. Stuart
