About The Author - Sidney Fox Sidney Fox was born in Buffalo, New York, where a love for movies, music, and all-things spooky, flourished. Moving with her family to the lush southern city of Atlanta, Georgia, when she was twelve, she experienced a “life-changing” event; a surprise meeting with the spirit of civil-war soldier. From that moment on a life-long interest in the paranormal began.During her teens, she sang in a band and dabbled in modeling and acting. After high school, she briefly worked at a psychiatric hospital, before deciding to pursue acting seriously, and headed to New York to study at the Studio Arena Theatre. Missing the south, she moved back to Georgia to the funky college-town of Athens to live with a friend who needed a singer for a new band; The Whirligigs. She found herself living in an old house of the haunted variety, and her fascination with ghosts grew.After a near-death experience courtesy of a drunk driver, her priorities changed, as did her life. She made the decision to move to Los Angeles to study film production and acting at UCLA. Her first job in Hollywood was giving tours of Paramount Pictures. During this time, she wrote several screenplays and co-founded the writers group; DeMille’s Illegitimate Children. After doing voice-over work for Grammy-winner, Madonna, she began writing articles and interviews for the legendary singers, ICON Magazine.Sidney and her future husband, Douglas, moved into a house in N. Hollywood, which, not surprisingly, was still inhabited by its long-dead owner. It was at this time she decided to heed the old adage, write what you know, and always loving a good ghost story, came up with the idea for her supernatural tale, HAUNTED LILY, her first novel. Currently, the author lives in Florida with her husband, son and dogs, where she and her husband are known as, “the Halloween people”, for their annual Halloween extravaganzas.
