About the author
Diane Telgen writes regional ghost-story collections for Arcadia Children's Books, focused on Michigan. The Ghostly Tales of Michigan's Haunted Lighthouses (2021) and The Ghostly Tales of Michigan's West Coast gather local legends tied to specific sites, including lighthouse keepers said to remain at their posts and stories connected to shipwrecks and cemeteries along the Great Lakes. Published for a children's and family audience, her books favor a spooky but approachable tone suited to younger readers curious about regional folklore rather than adult paranormal investigation writing. Telgen's work fits within Arcadia's series of地方-focused ghost story titles, pairing Michigan's maritime and small-town history with the legends that have grown up around it. No further biographical information about the author is available from the catalogue.
