More About the Author

Wearing my creative hat (as distinct from my scholar's mortarboard),I am the author of the Professor Karen Pelletier academic mystery novels. In both my fiction and my scholarly work on 19th-century American women writers, I am fascinated with the past. Maybe that's because I sometimes feel as if I have lived in three different centuries. Born in New York City in the middle of the 20th-century, I spent all my summers at my grandmother's remote, 19th-century non-electrified home in northern New Brunswick, Canada, carrying wood for the stove, pumping water for the laundry, each morning disposing of the unmentionable contents of something I thought was spelled "p-o-e," but was really spelled "p-o-t" (as in chamber ...)and pronounced in the French manner for reasons of discretion. Now, in the 21st century, I am writing novels whose mysteries are often based in the past. DEATH WITHOUT TENURE is the most recent, published by Poisoned Pen Press in January 2010.
