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.
