About the Author

JO-ANNE CHRISTENSEN is the popular author of numerous Ghost House books, including the best-selling Campfire Ghost Stories, Haunted Halloween Stories, Haunted Hotels and Ghost Stories of Christmas. Jo-Anne was raised in small-town Western Canada. She says the somewhat limited local entertainment options - mostly curling and hockey - led to an early love of reading, particularly anything with a paranormal flavor.

Jo-Anne's fascination with the unusual quite naturally led to a ten-year career in radio advertising but, in 1993, she left radio to pursue two equally strong ambitions: a life of freelance writing and the determination to never again write another sixty seconds of hard-sell used-car copy.

By this time, true ghost stories had become Jo-Anne's favorite reading material. After years of collecting such tales from distant locales, she decided to starting writing about what she knows. And the rest is history.

These days, Jo-Anne writes from her home, where she lives with her husband and children. She now has cable television and all the entertaining amenities of a larger city, but still prefers a good book ... especially if it's a ghost story.

This is an excellent book to bring out during camping , and sitting around the camp fire. The stories are spooky without being overboard for young kids.

This review is from: Campfire Ghost Stories (Paperback)

This is one of the best collections of scary stories I have ever owned. There are some of the Urban Legend type stories most everyone has heard of as well as some originals. Some of my personal favorites are "The Helpful Stranger", A Summer Companion" and "The Caretaker" But almost all of the others are really good too. I definitley recommend this book if you love scary stories
