Author Information

"MYSTERY AND THRILLER writer Ellen Byerrum is a former journalist in Washington, D.C., as well as a produced and published playwright. She tries not to repeat herself in her writing and in pursuit of research. She received her private investigator's registration in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Her latest book, The Brief Luminous Flight of the Firefly, is the 1940s prequel to her Crime of Fashion Mysteries, and features a very young Mimi Smith, the ""great-aunt Mimi"" mentioned throughout the series. Firefly takes place during WWII in Washington, D.C. Byerrum's screwball noir Crime of Fashion Mysteries feature D.C. fashion reporter Lacey Smithsonian, whose talent for solving crimes with fashion clues leads her to bodies dyed blue, haunted shawls, and the lost jewel-filled corset of a Romanov princess. Two of her books, Killer Hair and Hostile Makeover, were filmed for Lifetime television. Stretching beyond the mystery form, Byerrum has written a stand-alone psychological thriller, The Woman in the Dollhouse, which Best Thrillers says, ""bewitches on page one and continues to mesmerize until its shocking conclusion."" She has also penned a middle grade mystery, The Children Didn't See Anything. More recently, she published a children's rhyming picture book, Sherlocktopus Holmes: Eight Arms of the Law. In addition to her novels and stories, two of her plays (under the pen name ""Eliot Byerrum"") have been published by Samuel French, Inc., and are available through Concord Theatricals. Her website is at www.ellenbyerrum.com."
