About the Authors

DAVID M. KIELY'S
long career as a freelance writer has included biographies, short stories, crime novels, mysteries, and several works of nonfiction. When his spouse and co-author,
CHRISTINA McKENNA
, was eleven, a paranormal "visitor" tormented her home for six weeks. Only through the intervention of an exorcist could the spirit be expelled. Christina would later recall this episode in a memoir,
My Mother Wore a Yellow Dress
, published in 2004 in Ireland to great acclaim. The authors live in Rostrevor, Northern Ireland.
