Saturday, April 10, 2021 I did two virtual panels for BAM in Palm Beach County, Florida with my illustrator friend, Rick Spears. We had one on cryptozoology and one on dinosaurs. It was GREAT and we gave away 50 of our new stickers, designed and illustrated  by Rick. If you missed it and want a sticker, just let me know!  kellymilnerh@aol.com.

​“Secret fires, ping pong balls, and inaccessible binoculars? Kelly Milner Halls covers the story of the Titanic you know with the details you didn't and sets up a first-rate mystery for kids in the process.”

Rancho Isabella Elementary and Northside Elementary in Angleton, Texas hosted me for their Virtual Author Day, and created these wonderful shirts to celebrate it!  So grateful for the chance to share nonfiction with all their great kids! 

    November 18, 2020 -- a Virtual visit with Lewis & Clark elementary!

THANK YOU Janie Einerson and Nicole Davis, third grade teachers from Lewis and Clark Elementary in Liberty, MO for sharing these pictures with me from our Virtual Visit Nov. 18th.  I loved every minute of it. And we get to do it again December 3. Can't wait. 

LOOKING FOR VIRTUAL AUTHOR VISITS?  I'm ready to help -- a lot!

Even before Covid-19, I was doing Virtual Visits for schools, libraries and festivals whenever a host couldn't afford travel and hotel expenses. After Covid-19, a lot of my traditional author visits were converted to Virtual Visits. I have a special studio, the right webcam and microphone equipment and more than 15 different presentation topics to choose from. And almost everyone can afford one -- or two or three or four.

Kids often ask me, "What would you do if you met Sasquatch?"

The video above is exactly what I'd do. I hope it happens someday!
When I wrote GHOSTLY EVIDENCE, I did a lot of research in haunted places including the haunted house in the video above. See if you hear the voice of a very young ghost in this recording.  And let me know what you think! 

I've lost too many pets recently, so I'm working on a new book --  animal afterlife.  I'm gathering true stories of pets who visited their owners, After they died.  I hope it will help all of us who miss the pets we loved deeply.  The book will take time. So for now,  here's a slideshow of my animal angels. 

​Remember, If you've lost a pet and you're still sad, you'r not alone. I'm here for you!
