Author Biography:
Len Francis Monahan grew up in Toledo, Ohio, an industrial port-city on the western shore of Lake Erie. As a child, Len remembers swinging out on a rope over Swan Creek, gliding in a canoe over the misty waters of the moonlit Maumee River and laying in the sunken graves of Potter's Field precisely at midnight. These youthful adventures and the fact that Len was brought up in an actively haunted house may explain the genesis of the word "Ghosts" in the title of this book. Presently, he and his wife Elaine live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains where they enjoy a peaceful, rustic existence. Of late, there have not been too many "ghosts" beleaguering Len except those haunting the deep-seated imaginings of a restless mind, keeping him relentlessly awake and causing the lamps of his writer's den to remain lit throughout the night.
