Carole Nelson Douglas, author of more than fifty novels ranging
from sf/fantasy to mystery and mainstream/romance, has written
fiction full-time since 1984, after several years as an arts and women's
issues reporter with the St. Paul Pioneer Press in Minnesota.
She's written seven high fantasy novels and a pair of SF thrillers,
and imported some fantasy notions into her mystery writing. The
Midnight Louie series features a hard-boiled Las Vegas PI whose
part-time, first-furperson narration reveals him as a "Sam Spade with
hairballs."With her Irene Adler historical series, Carole became the
first author to use a woman from the Sherlock Holmes stories as a
protagonist, for which Good Night, Mr. Holmes was named a New
York Times Notable Book of the Year.
She's won or been short-listed for more than fifty writing awards,
in nonfiction and the sf/fantasy, mystery, and romance genres, including
several from the Romance Writers of America and Romantic Times
magazine.
Carole and her husband, Sam Douglas, a former art museum
exhibitions director and kaleidoscope artist, are kept as pets by four
stray cats and a dog in Fort Worth, Texas. She collects vintage clothing,
does a mean Marilyn Monroe impersonation, and, yes, she does dance,
but not with werewolves. That she knows of.
