Vanessa Brown is a freelance writer, editor, and local historian known for her works exploring regional history and cultural narratives. She co-authored "London: 150 Cultural Moments" with Jason, a comprehensive examination of significant events in London's history, published by Biblioasis in 2017. Her earlier book, "The Grand Old Lady: A History of Hotel London," delves into the storied past of a historic local landmark. Brown's upcoming true crime work, "The Forest City Killer," is set for release in 2019 with ECW Press.

With a background in historical research and a keen eye for detail, Brown specializes in uncovering lesser-known stories that shape communities. Her writing often blends meticulous archival work with engaging storytelling, making regional history accessible to broader audiences. A self-described "murderino," she brings a distinctive perspective to true crime narratives while maintaining a respectful approach to sensitive subjects. Brown's works reflect her dual passions for preserving local heritage and exploring darker historical mysteries.
