About Elaine Viets
As a young girl, Elaine Viets was taught the virtues of South St. Louis: the importance of hard work, housecleaning, and paying cash. She managed to forget almost everything she learned, which is why she turned to mystery writing.

Elaine is president of the Florida chapter of the Mystery Writers of America, and was a judge for the MWA's coveted Edgar Award for Best Novel 2000. The St. Louis native now lives in Hollywood, Florida, with her husband, Don Crinklaw, where they collect speeding tickets.
