About the Author

C
AROLE
N
ELSON
D
OUGLAS
is journalist-turned-novelist whose writing in both fields has received dozens of awards. A literary chameleon, she has always explored the roles of women in society, first in nonfiction reporting and then in numerous novels ranging from fantasy and science fiction to mainstream fiction. She currently writes two mystery series. The Victorian Irene Adler series examines the role of women in the late nineteenth century through the eyes of the only woman to outwit Sherlock Holmes, an American diva/detective. The contemporary-yet-Runyon-esque Midnight Louie series contrasts the realistic crime-solving activities and personal issues of four main human characters with the interjected first-person feline viewpoint of a black alley cat, P. I., who satirizes the role of the rogue male in crime and popular fiction.

Douglas, born in Everett, Washington, grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota, but emigrated with her husband to Fort Worth, Texas, trading Snowbelt for Sunbelt and journalism for fiction. In college she was a finalist in
Vogue
magazine’s
Prix de Paris
writing competition (won earlier by Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis) and earned degrees in English literature and speech and theater, with a minor in philosophy. She collects books, vintage clothing, and homeless animals.

Chapel Noir
resumes the enormously well-received Irene Adler series after a seven-year hiatus and will be followed by a sequel,
Castle Rouge
. The first Adler novel,
Good Night, Mr. Holmes
, won American Mystery and
Romantic Times
magazine awards and was a
New York Times
Notable Book.
