High school senior Lauren is attending a costume ball at Old Town Alexandria’s famous Gadsby’s
Tavern. But when she gets bored by the repetitious historical dances, she goes off to explore in the
building and something odd catches her eye.
Is it a woman?
When Lauren follows the mysterious person and picks up a snow globe in the room she’s led to,
she somehow ends up in 1816, experiencing the actual events of the “Legend of the Female Stranger” she’s heard her whole life growing up. Now Lauren has to solve the mystery of this ghost, find her way back home…and deal with her own emotions when she falls in love with a guy who lived 200 years before her.
About the Author
As a little girl, Amanda Brice dreamed of being either a ballerina or the author of a mystery series
featuring a cool crime-solving chick named Nancy Flew, but her father urged her to “do something
practical,” so she went to law school and spent her days writing briefs and pleadings instead of fiction.
But dance and writing have remained a part of her life. Amanda was a member of the ballroom dance
team at Duke University, and continues this interest by her obsession with Dancing with the Stars, so it
was only natural for her to set a teen mystery series at a dance school.
Amanda is the President of Washington Romance Writers, and is a two-time finalist for Romance
Writers of America’s prestigious Golden Heart® Award. She blogs once a month or so with the Ruby-Slippered Sisterhood. She is also a popular conference presenter, speaking on basic copyright and trademark law for writers.
In her spare time, Amanda enjoys dancing, reading, cooking, traveling, and obsessing over whether Duke
will beat Carolina in basketball. Go Devils!
