She lives in Selma, Alabama.
"My desire is to preserve our Southern ghost tales--the true ones--
before they are lost. I use a newspaper re****ter's training to check
the stories, verify dates, names, places, etc. The sites of all the
stories can be visited--but I make no promise that the ghosts can be
seen! Jeffrey is the `something' that lives in our house."
She's a former police re****ter and news photographer, as well as a
former member of board of directors of the National Association for
the Preservation and Perpetuation of Storytelling.
