Black Cat Press of Forked River, New Jersey was founded in 2000 by Lynda Lee Macken, a native New Yorker, who continues to combine her interest in history with stories of the paranormal.
She has chronicled supernatural tales and legends since her own ghostly sighting of Grace Brown whose 1906 murder in New York State’s Adirondack Mountains inspired a novel and a motion picture. The 19-year-old Brown was murdered on Big Moose Lake in 1906. The homicide formed the basis of novelist Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy and 1951 film A Place in the Sun.
Her encounter later was produced on the Unsolved Mysteries television series. It also led her to write her first book — Adirondack Ghosts: Stories of Spirits in New York State’s North Country. More than a dozen books have followed.
In addition to her radio and television appearances, Ms. Macken has consulted for PBS, the Travel Channel, Sightings, Paranormal Borderline, and Scariest Places on Earth. Her articles have appeared in regional and national publications, including the Staten Island Advance newspaper, the Mountain Astrologer and FATE magazines. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology from Rutgers University.
