TRISS STEIN is a small-town girl from New York State’s dairy country, who has spent most of her adult life living and working in New York City. This gives her the double vision of a stranger and a resident, useful for writing mysteries about Brooklyn, her ever-fascinating, ever-changing, ever-challenging adopted home. Brooklyn Graves, from Poisoned Pen Press, is the second in the series, following Brooklyn Bones. “NYPD Daughter” is her first story published in a Sisters in Crime anthology, now available in Deadly Debut, and another will appear shortly in Family Matters, in the Murder New York Style series. Triss is active in both Sisters in Crime and Mystery Writers of America.
CATHY STOLER’s Laurel and Helen New York Mystery series includes Telling Lies, Keeping Secrets, and The Hard Way. The series features P.I. Helen McCorkendale and magazine editor Laurel Imperiole. Cathi, a native New Yorker, has also published a novella, Nick of Time, and is working on a new series, Bar None, A Murder on The Rocks Mystery, featuring female bar owner Jude Dillane. Her stories have been published in several print anthologies and online. She is a member of Mystery Writers of America, as well as Sisters in Crime, and blogs at Women of Mystery.

ANNE-MARIE SUTTON, a Baltimore native, now lives in Connecticut. She works with her husband in their sales and marketing consulting business where she has ample opportunity to use her writing skills. She is happy to have a second career as a fiction writer. She’s published three mysteries set in Newport, Rhode Island (www.newportmystery.com), and enjoys her frequent visits to the city to do events to promote her novels. Her most recent book, Keep My Secret, came out in 2013. Her newest project is working with a local Connecticut group called Writers Unlimited, composed of senior citizens who love to write.
CLARE TOOHEY considers herself a genre omnivore, a grazer of stories who wants a taste from your plate. She’s a freelance editor, who helped found and manages CriminalElement.com, a community for crime fans. Her work has appeared in Feeding Kate, which she co-edited, and will appear shortly in Family Matters, the upcoming mystery anthology from the New York/Tri-State Chapter of Sisters in Crime. She edited St. Martins Press’s award-winning collection of short crime, The Malfeasance Occasional: Girl Trouble, as well as the Murder New York Style anthology, Deadly Debut. She consults on fiction projects for (and as) other people. She’s most often seen as an indistinct blur, gadding between online homes that include the group blog Women of Mystery and Twitter @clare2e.
JOAN TUOHY is a happily retired administrator / college professor from New Jersey. Asked to describe herself, she will usually say that she is an Irish Italian Catholic from Queens, figuring that pretty much explains everything. But perhaps not quite. She also holds a doctorate in the Foundations of Education, was a founding faculty member of her university’s Women’s Studies Program, and was awarded a travel Fulbright Scholarship in China. She has four children and seven perfect grandchildren. She is presently working on an historical mystery that grew out of her interest in the development of western New Jersey prior to the Civil War.
DEIRDRE VERNE likes to think of writing as her third career, after teaching and working in marketing. Prior to teaching, Deirdre held senior positions at Time Inc. where she handled business development for Fortune, Money, and Parenting magazines. Currently, she is the Curriculum Chair of the Marketing Program at Westchester Community College. When not in a classroom, Verne makes time for her new mystery series (Winter, 2015), featuring CeCe Prentice— an eco-friendly, dumpster-diving sleuth. Deirdre lives in lower Westchester with her husband and two boys.
STEPHANIE WILSON-FLAHERTY is a member of Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America, and Romance Writers of America. She published a finalist entry in RWA’s Golden Heart contest, earning a four-star review from Romantic Times Book Review upon its release. She has recently focused on writing short mystery stories with a humorous touch, set in her native Brooklyn, starring a busy-body, older-woman sleuth.
LINA ZELDOVICH grew up in a family of Russian scientists, listening to bedtime stories about volcanoes and black holes. Now she edits science features at the Nautilus magazine and writes about travel and adventure. She holds three Writer’s Digest awards, including first prize for her Soviet-era memoir story, “First They Broke My Back.” Her fiction has been published in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, in Akashic Noir’s online “Mondays Are Murder” series, and several short story collections. She holds a journalism degree from Columbia University and lives in New York City. She is currently working on a science thriller set in a dystopian future. Follow her on Twitter @LinaZeldovich and www.linazeldovich.com.
ELIZABETH ZELVIN is a New York City psychotherapist and author of the Bruce Kohler mystery series, which started with Death Will Get You Sober. Her historical novel, Voyage of Strangers, was published in 2014 by Amazon Publishing’s Lake Union imprint. Her short stories appear in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine and Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine. Liz is a three-time Agatha nominee and a Derringer Award nominee for Best Short Story. She has also authored two books of poetry and a book on gender and addictions, as well as an album of original songs, Outrageous Older Woman.
K.J.A. WISHNIA’s novels include 23 Shades of Black, an Edgar Allan Poe Award and Anthony Award finalist; Soft Money, a Library Journal Best Mystery of the Year; Red House, a Washington Post Book World “Rave” Book of the Year; and The Fifth Servant, an Indie Notable selection, “Best Mystery of the Year” (The Jewish Press), winner of a Premio Letterario ADEI-WIZO, and a finalist for the Sue Feder Memorial Historical Mystery Award. His short stories have appeared in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine, Queens Noir, Long Island Noir, and elsewhere. He teaches writing, literature and other deviant forms of thought at Suffolk Community College on Long Island, and his protagonists are usually much nicer (and a lot smarter) than the guy in this story. www.kennethwishnia.com
