About the Author

When Lynne Hansen was young, her older brother delighted in scaring her. He would hide behind doors and jump out at her. He would tell her horrible stories that had her covering her neck from the vampires and checking under the bed for the Boogey Man.

Now it's her turn to scare people.

The Return is the first book in the Heritage of Horror series. Now Lynne gets to weave the monsters she loves into her historical tales of terror.

Lynne Hansen lives in Tampa, Florida with her cat Pandora who is terrified of everything, and her husband who puts up with both of them.

She loves to hear from her readers. You can e-mail her at [e-mail].
