Death in Dixie [Paperback]

Billie Sue Mosiman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 1998

It's a Mason-Dixon line-up! From the cypress swamps of Louisiana to the sunny coast of the Carolinas, from the neon glitz of New Orleans to the mist-shrouded mountains of old West Virginia, Death in Dixie brings a most southern flavor to murder--with stories from Edgar Award-winner Julie Smith, Agatha Award-winner Joan Hess and eleven other masters.

* Features stories by New York Times bestseller Sharyn McCrumb, Edgar-winner Julie Smith, Agatha Award winner Julie Smith and John Lutz (Single White Female)
* Regional anthologies do particularly well

More About the Author

I am a thriller, suspense, and horror novelist. My books were first published in 1984 and two of them received an Edgar Award Nomination for best novel and a Bram Stoker Award Nomination for most superior novel. I was represented by the William Morris Agency, belonged to many professional writing organizations, and even wrote columns and reviews in magazines. When anthologies were big, I was a regular contributor and have more than 150 short stories published. For a spell I taught writing for Writer's Digest and for AOL online. I was born in Alabama and live now in Texas on a small ranch.

My work has been predominately suspense thrillers, but I also wrote a western historical, a trilogy of vampire novels, a travel memoir, and, of course, many short stories. My latest novel is BANISHED, a dark fantasy horror novel involving fallen angels. Most of my work has been made available at kindle.com for the e-book reader, including my Stoker-nominated novel, WIDOW, and my Edgar-nominated novel, NIGHT CRUISING.

I love to read (especially on my Kindle), paint, take photographs, and travel. I can name two inspiring persons in my life. One was my grandmother, Naomi. And, every day and forever, my husband, who has lived this adventure with me.

Because of a lifelong love of storytelling, I've been able to make a lifelong investment in writing those stories and novels.
