Sue Star writes mysteries about families in chaos. Murder in the Dojo introduces Nell Letterly, amateur sleuth and single mom who teaches martial arts despite the opinions of her teenage daughter, sophisticated sister-in-law, and crotchety dad. Their misadventures continue in Murder with Altitude, Murder for a Cash Crop, and Murder by Moose, soon to be released from D.M. Kreg Publishing. With Bill Beatty, she’s also written Dancing for the General, a mystery set in exotic Turkey of 1957. Collections of mystery stories include Trophy Hunting, Organized Death, and Trouble in a Politically Correct Town, featuring Nell’s world. As Rebecca Williamson, she’s written suspense with a touch of romance in The Drowning of Chittenden.

The town is often referred to as "The Republic of Boulder," because it is so uniquely different from the rest of Colorado. Boulder has a high opinion of itself (deservedly), and believes it can solve the world's problems. Who knows? Maybe it can. Boulderites are really smart people who work at scientific institutes and have lots of letters behind their names. All this attitude (oops, I mean altitude) makes great fodder for me to poke a little harmless fun. (less)

Blog Tour!

I am one of the “Seven Sinister Sisters,” and we are launching a blog tour in spring 2018. Our concept is “one question, seven answers” (a different question) for each blog stop.

Our first stop was at Writers Who Kill on January 6, and the first question was:

What’s the story behind the book, and why did you write it?

I will be launching Murder by Moose, the 4th book in my Nell Letterly series, and Read more of this blog post »
