About the author. . .
As a freelance
journalist and editor. . .

articles published in regional and national magazines.
She was a staff

Prudy writes about
what she knows. For her horror novels, written as Prudence Foster, she has
studied the occult for years, traveled to Haiti where she attended a voodoo
ceremony in the woods outside Cape Haitien, attended a séance at a cenote where
virgins were sacrificed centuries ago outside Chichen Itza, Mexico, and in
Cartagena, Colombia, she had a Tarot card reading and befriended a 90-year old
medium. Her mysteries, in particular the Recipes for Murder series, are based
on her experiences as a television assignment editor/reporter and daily
newspaper reporter covering the courts and police beats.
In addition, she has
taught creative writing in Naples, Sanibel, Delray Beach, and Fort Myers and
has lectured, appeared on panels, and conducted writers’ workshops throughout
the United States and in Canada. Prudy Taylor Board is a native of Florida and

Prudy certainly is prolific! And some useful sounding books as well. I love those regional books like I often seen in bookstores in the local interest section or at the gift shops of historic attractions.
