Terri Nolan
Murder in La-La Land
Los Angeles, the City of Angels, home to Hollywood and
Beverly Hills. Where everyone is auditioning for a part, and
where lies and deceit come veiled as glitz and glamour. Join
us, if you dare: view a vampire movie in our Forever
Hollywood Cemetery, or take a walk along the concrete banks
of the L.A. River. But watch your step. Murder brews within the
micro-cosmic homeless communes that call it home and
sometimes riffs on melodic waves from the jazz street
musicians just down the block. Twelve stories of mystery,
murder, and mayhem, from the authors of Sisters In Crime/Los
Angeles, that will send you scrambling for a bus ticket home.
But watch your back. As they say… “Nobody leaves L.A.”
Terri Nolan’s love of words started when she wrote her
autobiography at seven. By nine she was reading Vogue feature
articles and Playboy interviews. In high school she was nearly
suspended for reading The Exorcist. She argued that since the
campus allowed cigarette smoking she should be able to read
banned fiction because reading didn’t kill. She won the argument and
avoided punishment. Terri entered college with the idea of becoming
a journalist. She worked at a small paper and experienced modest
success when some of her short stories were published in literary
journals. Then rock-and-roll beckoned. She began work in
broadcasting and earned a B.A. in Radio/Television. Today, she
writes novels, short stories and feature articles.
