\nAbout the three mystery writers:
\nDonis Casey<\/strong>
\nDonis writes the Alafair Tucker series of historical mysteries set primarily in Oklahoma for the Poisoned Pen Press. Her sixth title in the series, The Wrong Hill to Die On, moves Alafair temporarily to Tempe in 1916. Alafair is a mother of ten running a farm with her husband, and yet, with her down-to-earth common sense and sharp intellect, she still has time to solve murder mysteries when they come her way. Donis comes up with the best titles in town\u2014the first in the series is called The Old Buzzard Had It Coming.
\nElizabeth Gunn<\/strong>
\nElizabeth has two long-running series: Jake Hines, set in the fictional town of Rutherford, Minnesota, and Sarah Burke, set in very real Tucson, where Elizabeth now lives. Elizabeth\u2019s sleuths deal with a range of contemporary issues, from struggling to fit a personal life around the demands of their jobs, to border conflict and fracking. Her Sarah Burke series of four books started with Cool in Tucson and continues with her most recent Sarah title, The Magic Line. Jake started withTriple Play in 1997. This March brought her latest title in the Jake Hines series, Eleven Little Piggies.
\nSusan Cummins Miller<\/strong>
\nSusan\u2019s \u201csleuth\u201d is geologist, Frankie McFarlane, which explains why Texas Tech University Press is her publisher\u2014getting the message out about women in science. You\u2019ll love the parallels between rock formations and the crises criminals create. Susan worked as a field geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey before turning to writing, so she knows what she\u2019s talking about. Her latest in the five book series, Fracture, is a sedimentary delight with layers from early European history, the war in Afghanistan, the housing bust, old-fashioned greed, and the return of Frankie\u2019s sweetheart, the satisfyingly complex P.I., Philo Dain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
