JAMES ZISKIN is the author of the Edgar, Anthony, Barry, Lefty, and Macavity-nominated Ellie Stone Mysteries. A linguist by training, he studied Romance Languages and Literature at the University of Pennsylvania. After completing his graduate degree, he worked in New York as a photo-news producer and writer, and then as Director of NYU’s Casa Italiana. He spent fifteen years in the Hollywood post production industry, running large international operations in the subtitling/localization and visual effects fields. His international experience includes two years working and studying in France, extensive time in Italy, and more than three years in India. He speaks Italian and French. James grew up in Amsterdam, New York. He now lives in Seattle.
MARLA COOPER was
astonished when, at the age of 18, she realized people could actually
get paid to write things. So she switched her major from business to
advertising—much to the relief of her accounting professor—and began her
career as an advertising copywriter. She later became a freelancer so
she could take advantage of perks like working in her pajamas, and now
she writes a little bit of everything. It was while she was ghostwriting
a book on destination weddings that she found inspiration for her first
novel, Terror in Taffeta. Her latest in the Kelsey McKenna Destinationa Wedding series is Dying on the Vine. Originally hailing from Texas, Marla lives in
Oakland, California, with her husband and her polydactyl tuxedo cat.September 13: Amy Stewart, 7 p.m.
