Rose Earhart has been a principal dancer with the Chicago City Ballet, a teacher, an actress, and a newspaper columnist. A first cousin, once removed, of Amelia Earhart, Rose, a native of Lake Forest, IL, now resides in Salem, MA, with her husband Jim.

She is the author of Salem's Ghosts, and Dorcas Good, the Diary of a Salem Witch.

The old Victorian house where Rose lives with her family is a nightly haven to Salemites, both ghostly and real.
