Roberta Smith is the author of The Secret of Lucianne Dove and a follow up novel, The Chapel Playhouse, which will be released next year. The Chapel Playhouse finds Mickey McCoy delving once again into the realm of the paranormal, only better prepared this time.

Roberta also wrote the children's play A Letter to Santa which was produced by Burbank Dance Biz and performed December 3rd & 4th of 2007 at the Colony Theatre in Burbank. It received much acclaim.

Roberta has always had an interest in the paranormal and has done much research on the subject. She also finds ghost towns and old mining towns fascinating. So, of course, the two interests had to meld together as a book--The Secret of Lucianne Dove.

Roberta is an artist and her work can be seen at www.robertalsmithart.com. When she isn't writing or painting, she is either editing The Corvette Chronicle newsletter for the Victor Valley Vettes Corvette Club or taking part in Corvette events with her husband Chuck.
