Jane Haddam / Orania Papazoglou:  As Jane Haddam, she is the author of a wonderful, insightful, witty series of Gregor Demarkian & Bennis Hannaford books set mainly in a Philadelphia Armenian neighborhood. Several of her books are reviewed here on Books 'n' Bytes.

Eileen Moushey: Writer of plays - mostly interactive mystery/comedies. The Mysteries by Moushey acting troupe performs throughout the Midwest. Additionally, the scripts have been performed by hundreds of groups in US and Canada.

Unofficial motto, "No plot too thick, no joke too cheap." And she is as cute as the proverbial button (uh, just kidding about the last part.)

Katy Munger / Gallagher Grey:  As Katy Munger, she is the author of the rough, funny, "in-your-face" Casey Jones series, and the mother of a toddler with whom she lives in North Carolina, along with dad.

As Gallagher Grey, she is the author of the Hubbert and Lil series that is one of my all-time favorites.

Interview
