[close] Sidney Fox was born in Buffalo, New York, where a love for movies, music, and all-things spooky flourished. Moving with her family to the lush southern city of Atlanta, Georgia, when she was twelve, she experienced a “life-changing” event; a surprise meeting with the spirit of civil-war soldier. From that moment on a life-long interest in the paranormal began.

During her teens, she sang in a band and did some modeling and acting. After high school, she briefly worked at a psychiatric hospital, which she considered an eye-opening experience, before deciding to pursue acting seriously and headed to New York to study at the Studio Arena Theatre. Missing the south, Sidney moved back to Georgia to the funky college town of Athens to live with a friend who needed a singer for a new band; The Whirligigs. Once again, she found herself living in an old house of the haunted variety, and her fascination with ghosts grew.

After a near-death experience, courtesy of a drunk driver, her priorities changed…as did her life. Sidney made the decision to move to Los Angeles to study film production and acting at UCLA. Her first job in Hollywood was giving tours of Paramount Pictures. During this time, she wrote several screenplays and co-founded the writers group called - DeMille’s Illegitimate Children.

After a few years working on various popular movies and television shows, Sidney did a voice-over for Grammy-winner, Madonna, and was hired to write articles and interviews for the legendary singers, ICON Magazine.

It was around this time that she and her future husband, Douglas, moved into an old house in N. Hollywood which, not surprisingly, was still inhabited by its long-dead owner. Sidney decided to heed the old adage, “write what you know”, and always loving a good ghost story, came up the idea for her supernatural tale, HAUNTED LILY.

Currently, Sidney lives in Florida with her husband, son and dogs, where they are well-known for their annual Halloween extravaganzas.
