Background

Burgoyne has lived in the Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area for most of her life. At age 16, she composed a musical score for a promotional film, some of which was later used on national television.[1]

Since 1991, Burgoyne has led an annual archeological field trip to Ireland.[2] In 2002, she worked for the Snow Hill town government.[3] She owned a business development company before working for the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development as a business development representative from 2005.[4] In 2005, she also founded the Tourism, Arts, and Downtown Development (TADD) collective to help coordinate business resources across the state.[5] Burgoyne has also worked as a business development representative and a field reporter for the Government of Maryland.[6] [7]

Writing

Burgoyne's first two books, Snow Hill and Easton, are part of Arcadia Publishing's "Images of America" series.[8] Snow Hill is a historical book containing stories and photographs of Snow Hill, Maryland.[9]

Burgoyne researched folklore for three years at Salisbury University for her 2009 book Haunted Eastern Shore,[10] which she was inspired to write after moving into a house where she sensed hauntings.[11] The book is a compilation of stories about the Eastern Shore. By 2015, Haunted Eastern Shore had sold 10,000 copies.[12] In 2015, Burgoyne published The Haunted Mid-Shore, a book that contains 25 stories from Maryland's mid-shore region. It is the second of a three-book series about the folklore of the Delmarva Peninsula.

Burgoyne also conducts tours of supposedly haunted sites following stories from her books.[13]
