Jeri Westerson worked in a bevy of careers prior to setting her
sights on becoming a novelist. Would-be actress, graphic artist,
theology teacher, tasting host and tour guide for a winery, and
newspaper reporter were among them. She wanted to create her own
brand of medieval mystery, and combined the concept of medieval
mystery with hard-boiled detective fiction into what she calls
"Medieval Noir." Her novel Veil of Lies, garnered nominations for
the Macavity Award for Best Historical Mystery and the Shamus Award
for Best First PI Novel, the first medieval mystery to be so
honored. She has lectured around the country about the Middle Ages,
demonstrating her cache of medieval weaponry, and is vice president
for the southern California chapter of Mystery Writers of America.
She is also a member of Private Eye Writers of America and the
Historical Novel Society. She is married to a commercial
photographer, has a screenwriter son, and herds two cats, a
tortoise, and the occasional tarantula at her home in southern
California.
Suzanne Elise Freeman is a voice talent and Earphones Award-winning
audiobook narrator.
