About the author
Dianna Avena is the author of Roswell: History, Haunts and Legends, published by History Press (also issued as a Library Editions printing) in 2007. The book covers the historic town of Roswell, Georgia, tracing its Civil War-era past through mills, antebellum mansions, and former slave cabins, and pairing that documented history with local ghost stories associated with these sites. It follows the format typical of History Press's regional haunted-history line, combining researched local history with collected legend rather than presenting itself as investigative paranormal reporting. The book is aimed at readers interested in Southern local history and ghost-story collections tied to a specific town. It is Avena's only title listed in the catalogue.
