I grew up in Wadena, Minnesota, and now live in Fargo, North Dakota, where I'm known for my annual library program, Ghost Stories for Grown-Ups. In ten years, the themes have included “Dark Carnival,” “When the Hearse Goes By,” and “Thesaurus of Horror.” This year, the theme is "Superstition." I have also appeared different times in the Fargo Forum as a local expert on ghost stories and horror movies.
