About the author

Lisa Livingston-Martin writes local ghost-story history for the History Press, focused on southwest Missouri. Haunted Joplin traces reputed hauntings through the city's saloons, hotels, and other historic sites, using them as a way into Joplin's rowdier past. Haunted Carthage, Missouri does similar work for the neighboring town, covering woodland cabins, rumored lost Spanish treasure, and other local legends tied to the Ozark Plateau. Both titles, also issued in History Press Library Editions, present themselves as ghost history rather than paranormal investigation guides, weaving documented local history together with the folklore that has grown up around specific buildings and landmarks. Livingston-Martin's books suit readers interested in Missouri and Ozark regional history who enjoy that history told through its ghost stories.
