A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

L.C. Bennett Stern was born in Philadelphia, but was raised from a young age in southern New Jersey, as the middle child in a family of nine. She is a member of the Historical Novel Society, as well as Philadelphia Hometown Reads, #The Awethors, South Jersey Women for Progressive Change, and Birds of the Eastern United States, online sites. Her first book, Bosses and Blackjacks: A Tale of the “Bloody Fifth” in Philadelphia (Award-Winning Finalist in the “True Crime: Non-Fiction” category of the 2017 International Book Awards) tells the true story of her paternal grandfather, David Bennett, a police lieutenant who becomes embroiled in a political scandal with the mayor and a butcher, resulting in a murder on Election Day in 1917. The trial that ensues is national news, sharing headlines with WWI. Mae’s Revenge is a fictionalized tale, built upon some basic truths, about one of David’s older sisters. Linda is the mother of two grown children, a daughter and a son, and lives with her husband and their adorable Wheaton Terrier, Katie Scarlett, in a small river town directly across the Delaware from Philadelphia.
