Real Name: Joyce Yarrow
About My Library: I enjoy reading an eclectic mix of books - everything from traditional detective stories to poetry (Rumi is a favorite), literary fiction and non-fiction on contemporary issues. I grew up in the Bronx, where the library was my refuge and inspiration.
About Me: I'm the author of literary novels of suspense that “appeal to readers who enjoy unusual mysteries with an international setting.” - Library Journal

My latest offering is a historical fantasy - ZAHARA AND THE LOST BOOKS OF LIGHT - from Adelaide Books in Dec 2020.

A New York City transplant now living in Seattle, I began my writing life scribbling poems on the subway and observing human behavior from every walk of life. My published novels of suspense include ASK THE DEAD (Martin Brown), RUSSIAN RECKONING - available in hard cover as THE LAST MATRYOSHKA (Five Star Mysteries), RIVERS RUN BACK, co-authored with Arindam Roy (Vitasta, New Delhi).

I'm a Pushcart Prize Nominee with short stories and essays that have appeared in Inkwell Journal, Whistling Shade, Descant, Arabesques, and Weber: The Contemporary West and the Los Angeles Review of Books. I'm honored to be a member of the Sisters in Crime organization and the Author's Guild and have presented workshops on “The Place of Place in Mystery Writing” at conferences in the US and India.
