About the Author:

Kim Cooper is the creator of 1947project, the crime-a-day time travel blog that spawned Esotouric's popular crime bus tours, including the Real Black Dahlia. With husband Richard Schave, Kim curates the Salons and forensic science seminars of LAVA - The Los Angeles Visionaries Association. When the third generation Angeleno isn't combing old newspapers for forgotten scandals, she is a passionate advocate for historic preservation of signage, vernacular architecture, writer's homes and Angels Flight Railway. Kim was for many years the editrix of Scram, a journal of unpopular culture. Her books include "Fall in Love For Life: Inspiration from a 73-Year Marriage," "Bubblegum Music is the Naked Truth," "Lost in the Grooves," an oral history of the band Neutral Milk Hotel and "The Kept Girl," a fact-based 1920s mystery starring the young Raymond Chandler. Her newest book is "How to Find Old Los Angeles."
