  About the Author

  LINA GARDINER, author of the award-winning Jess Vandermire Vampire Hunter Series, has writing in her blood. Living in New Brunswick, Canada, a hotspot for legendary ghosts and tall tales of odd happenings, has probably added to her love of a good mystery. That, and the stories her grandfather told in the “parlor” when their grandmother wasn’t paying attention, added to her love of storytelling and the wonders of imagination.
