Author Description

“I've belonged to Sisters in Crime for many, many years, so I was delighted to write the introduction for this anthology… I hope you enjoy this anthology as much as I did.” ~~CHARLAINE HARRIS A Perfect Mystery Anthology Gift For Book Lovers! Welcome to the inaugural anthology by the chapter members of Sisters In Crime North Dallas. The city of Dallas and surrounding area offer great inspiration for mystery writers—and mystery lovers. Several lakes, lavish high-dollar hotels to low-income neighborhoods, and historic sites such as the Book Depository--plus multi-generational residents or Dallas transplants--all bring to life the stories included in Malice In Dallas: Metroplex Mysteries Volume I. BARB GOFFMAN, who edited this anthology, is a writer and freelance crime-fiction editor. She’s won the Agatha Award twice for her short stories. She’s also won the Macavity Award, Silver Falchion Award, and Readers Award given by Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine. She’s been nominated for major crime-writing awards thirty-three times for her stories, including fourteen Agatha Award nominations (a category record), and multiple nominations for the Anthony, Derringer, and Macavity awards. Novels and stories she’s edited have won the Agatha, Derringer, and EQMM Readers Award and were nominated for the Agatha, Anthony, Derringer, Macavity, and Shamus awards. In 2020, Crime Travel, a time-travel mystery anthology Barb edited, was nominated for the Anthony.
