edit data

Rochelle Staab is a Los Angeles mystery writer, avid hiker, trail blogger, historian, and former radio and music industry executive. Using Mother Nature as a tour guide, Rochelle has blogged about more than three hundred different hikes in the mountains, urbs, and burbs of Los Angeles, exploring L.A. from the ground up. She returned to the mystery writing community following a hiatus to earn a BA in history with an emphasis on American and Los Angeles studies. Her interest in the evolving roles of women during the early decades of the twentieth-century through WWII inspired Behaving Badly, Rochelle’s fourth novel.

Rochelle’s Quotes

“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
