Taylor Smith
Taylor Smith (Foreword) is a bestselling author whose
novels include Common Passions, The Best of Enemies
and Random Acts.  A native of Canada, she became a
diplomat for that country, covering the former Soviet bloc,
and for a time was a senior aide to Canada’s equivalent of
the National Security Advisor.  Taylor has also been a
delegate to the United Nations General Assembly in New
York, and she spent three years posted to East Africa.  
During a leave of absence in 1990, she relocated to
Orange County, California, and took up fiction writing.  
Her well-reviewed novels have been released in more
than two-dozen countries, and have sold over two million
copies.
There is far more to the city of Los Angeles than can be
dark, dangerous, even deadly. To find those hidden,
shadowy corners of the L.A., wherein reside the
less-than-angelic denizens of the City of Angels, you need
LAndmarked for Murder, the new anthology by members
of Sisters in Crime/Los Angeles. LAndmarked for Murder
is a fictional travelogue through some of L.A. most notable
natural and manmade landmarks, each of which serves as
the setting for ten tales of dark passions and murder.
