 Her website is http://www.evelaplante.com.
 Married with four children, she writes nonfiction books, one of which, SALEM WITCH JUDGE, won the 2008 Massachusetts Book Award for Nonfiction.
 LaPlante's ancestor biographies "have been praised as reminiscent of a more celebratory Nathaniel Hawthorne", according to the Boston Book Festival.
 In the anthology BOSTON, which includes the preface to LaPlante's AMERICAN JEZEBEL, Shaun O'Connell observed, "Just as Nathaniel Hawthorne dug into the dark history of his ancestry, which reached back both to the original Boston settlement of the 1630s and the Salem Witch Trials of the 1690s, so too did LaPlante trace family members who were rooted in the same eras... Hawthorne took shame upon himself for the misdeeds of his Puritan ancestors, and LaPlante offers praise for her forebears who testified against Puritan repression.
 As her prefaces to these biographies, a kind of spiritual autobiography, show, Anne Hutchinson and Samuel Sewall were not the dark Puritans many imagined them to be.
 They remain living presences, even models of rectitude, into the twenty-first century."
 LaPlante is a first cousin, four generations removed, of Louisa May Alcott.
 She collected and edited the private papers of her great great great great-aunt Abigail May Alcott, the abolitionist and suffragist who was Louisa's mother and mentor.
