About the author
Janet Jones is the author of Haunted Carson City, published in 2012 by History Press, a book that gathers reported hauntings tied to the history of Nevada's capital, including the Kit Carson Trail, the former Nevada City Mint building, and the family of Mark Twain, whose niece Jennie Clemens died there of a fever. The book follows the regional ghost-story format common to History Press's local history line, pairing documented local history with accounts of reported paranormal activity at specific sites. It is aimed at readers interested in local history and ghost lore connected to a particular place, including visitors and residents wanting a guide to the city's reputedly haunted locations rather than a general study of hauntings or spiritualism.
