Holly Sullivan McClure grew up in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, where ghost stories were part of everyday life, and where it was considered downright rude if departed relatives didn't stop by now and then. After living in New Orleans and on a barrier island off the Georgia coast, Holly collected local hauntings and folklore, first sharing them as a storyteller at Stone Mountain Park's Tour of Southern Ghosts. That passion for the supernatural grew into a full-time writing career spanning both fiction and non-fiction. She now lives near a Civil War battlefield in Georgia, continuing her family's tradition of ghost stories and working on the next book in her chilling paranormal mystery series.
