Ghostoria: Vintage Romantic Tales of Fright

Tam Francis has taught swing dancing with her husband for fifteen years and is an avid collector of vintage patterns, vintage clothing and antiques. She has published two indie magazines - ＂From the Ashes＂ (Arts & Literature in the Greater Phoenix area 1990-1994) and ＂Swivel: Vintage Living＂ (all things related to swing dancing and vintage lifestyle culture 1994-2000). Tam has also been a poet (two-time, National Poetry Slam city finalist, Scottsdale Center for the Arts Poetry Art Walk Featured Poet, New Times Feature Poet, Visual Voices Featured Writer) and short story writer (two-time finalist for Scare the Dickens Out of Us contest). And finally blogger and novelist. She began blogging her dance adventures years ago on Myspace, but started her novel when her husband shipped out for Iraq and she was alone with two small children. She now lives in a 1908 home in Lockhart, Texas, which is not only the BBQ capital of Texas, but has the oldest, continuous working library in the state. It is suspected her house might be haunted.
