About the Author

Lisha Cauthen edits and writes children’s books in Kansas City, Missouri, in a 100-year-old house built on the site of the Battle of Westport. She’s used to hearing phantom footsteps in the attic and seeing strange shadows lurking the neighborhood. Her family’s experiences help tell the history of Kansas City—like the story of the girl and the gangster that you read about in the introduction. That level-headed girl grew up to be Lisha’s mother.
