About the author

Roberta Simpson Brown was born in Russell Springs, Kentucky, at the edge of Appalachia. Her family, with roots in the rich Irish tradition of storytelling, got together often with other relatives and neighbors to share personal experiences and scary stories that preserved and perpetuated this age-old art. She and her husband Lonnie
enjoy doing paranormal investigations for stories with their friends.

Roberta has told stories at festivals, workshops, schools, libraries, programs, prisons and conferences from coast to coast. She has also performed on National Public Radio, Voice of America, and Lifetime's TV's show, "Beyond Chance." While she enjoys telling stories, she prefers to write.

A retired teacher, Roberta lives with her husband Lonnie in Louisville, KY. She would love to hear from readers, especially with stories of ghosts, fairies, leprechauns, or interesting personal experiences! She would welcome any comments about her 11 books! Her latest book is Scariest Stories Ever Told, published by August House. Contact her on Facebook, Twitter or at robertasbrown@twc.com.
