The graveyard overlooking R. Jade Lazlow's hometown is visible from everywhere, like an omni-present reminder of the mysterious forces beyond the veil. Historically, the region was home to Native People described as the Fort Ancients, who inhabited the area as early as 1000 AD. As Europeans entered the area and settled, the likes of Daniel Boone and Jenny Wiley settled and explored the land.The town itself had been a station on the Underground Railroad, with the purported site of Uncle Tom's Cabin being just a few miles up river. It's also not far downriver from Mothman country. It was against that backdrop that Jade discovered her love of writing and story telling. She garnered inspiration from the local legends told in hushed whispers, history, creepy comic books, and thrillers and mysteries from the town's library. Jade was "born to be a writer," and she is delighted to finally have the time to do more of it. She also independently narrates and produces audiobooks. There's nothing more exciting," she says, "than creating great stories and finding that people enjoy them."Read more about this authorRead less about this author
