Author Information

An insatiable interest in her forebears led L.C.Bennett Stern to the discovery of a locally notorious ancestor-a grandfather never known to the author-the subject of this book. She is currently working on the 2nd book of an historical fiction, The Mari Mort Theater Trilogy. Linda happily shares life in southern New Jersey with her husband, a fellow writer. As she puts it: Life at our house is very, very quiet - except for the occasional annoying bark of our Wheaten Terrier, Katie Scarlett, and the hum of two very busy computers. www.lcbennettstern.com
