The mystery writer and seasoned audio broadcast pro Kathleen Kalb joins TWF for this episode.
Kathleen Marple Kalb describes herself as an
Author/Anchor/Mom…not in that order. An award-winning weekend anchor at New
York’s 1010 WINS Radio, she writes short stories and novels including the The
Stuff of Murder, and the upcoming Ella Shane mystery, A Fatal Reception,
both from Level Best Books. The Stuff of Murder will publish this March.
As Nikki Knight, she writes the Grace the Hit Mom and
Vermont Radio mysteries. Her most recent publication is Hound of the
Bonnevilles, also coming out in March.
Her stories have appeared in Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery
Magazine, Black Cat Weekly, and others, and been short-listed for Derringer
and Black Orchid Novella Awards. She’s served as Vice President of the Short
Mystery Fiction Society and is a co-VP of the New York/Tri-State Chapter of
Sisters in Crime. She, her husband, and son live in a Connecticut house owned
by their cat.
