laceysmithsonian@yahoo.com BioI write the Crime of Fashion mystery series, published by New American Library/Signet, which is now NAL/Obsidian Mysteries. My mystery novels include Killer Hair, Designer Knockoff, Hostile Makeover, Raiders of the Lost Corset, Grave Apparel, and my latest, Armed and Glamorous.
My protagonist is Lacey Smithsonian, a fiesty female reporter who's been reluctantly saddled with the fashion beat in Washington, D.C., a.k.a. "The City Fashion Forgot." Lacey has a nose for nuance, a knack for untangling mysteries, and a knockout working wardrobe of great vintage suits and killer heels. I'm also a produced and published playwright, a working Washington reporter, and I hold a Private Investigator's registration in Virginia. I blog about my books, my heroine Lacey Smithsonian, the mysterious art and craft of the mystery novel, my life as a mystery writer, journalist and playwright, and whatever catches my eye and ear.
