She is the creator of the self-guided walking tour collections Walking Milwaukee: Downtown Edition and Walking Milwaukee: Tosa Edition.

She happily resides in a historic home in Milwaukee that, at this time, does not appear to be haunted.

"Milwaukee Ghosts and Legends" is a breeze - a spine-tingling breeze - to read. It's extremely well crafted, organized into deliciously digestible segments and laden with descriptive yet straight-forward language. Lardinois stocks the stories with so many peculiar historical tidbits that the text is simultaneously scary, fascinating and educational.
