Hello! Thanks for stopping by. Please check out my website www.janicelaw.com for the latest information on my new ebook, "The Fires of London" from mysteriouspress.com
Janice Law, Biographical note For a complete list of works, please see my website, www.janicelaw.com My first novel, The Big Payoff, which introduced Anna Peters, was inspired by the then on-going Watergate investigation. I transposed some of the events to an oil company, and made my heroine a working class woman with a shady background. The book was nominated for an Edgar and seven other Anna Peters novels followed, published by Houghton Mifflin, then by Walker and St. Martins. They were translated into several languages and the last four were issued in paperback by Worldwide Mysteries. I have reissued the earlier ones via IUniverse. Besides mystery novels, I have published two historical novels, one of which All the King's Ladies, includes a famous historical mystery, two history books (the most recent, Discovering Hampton, received the 2001 Betty M. Linsley Award by the Association for the Study of Connecticut History), a fair number of articles, both popular and scholarly, and short stories. In the last decade, I have regularly published stories in both Ellery Queen and Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazines. Several of my short stories have appeared in anthologies, including The Best American Mystery Stories, The World’s Finest Mystery and Crime Stories, Alfred Hitchcock’s Fifity Years of Crime and Suspense, Riptide, Still Waters, and the New Fabulist anthology, Paraspheres. My most recent books are The Night Bus, The Lost Diaries of Iris Weed, and Voices from Forge. They are contemporary novels with strong mystery elements. The university setting of The Lost Diaries reflects my work as an instructor at the University of Connecticut, where I have taught for over ten years. Both The Lost Diaries and Voices were finalists for the Connecticut Center for the Book Fiction Award.
