Anna Lardinois tingles the spines of locals and visitors to Milwaukee through her haunted historical walking tours known as Gothic Milwaukee. She is the author of Milwaukee Ghosts and Legends, Storied and Scandalous Wisconsin, Shipwrecks of the Great Lakes and several Spooky America titles for young readers: The Ghostly Tales of Milwaukee, The Ghostly Tales of Flint and The Ghostly Tales of Baraboo. The former English teacher is an ardent collector of stories, an avid walker and a sweet treats enthusiast. The author happily resides in a historic home in Milwaukee that, at this time, does not appear to be haunted.
