About Me:
My traditional mystery series includes DEATH WILL GET YOU SOBER (2008) and DEATH WILL HELP YOU LEAVE HIM (2009), both from Minotaur, featuring recovering alcoholic Bruce Kohler and his friends, computer genius Jimmy and world-class codependent Barbara. Bruce also stars in three published short stories, two nominated for Agatha awards for Best Short Story (2007 and 2009). Learn more at www.elizabethzelvin.com. I'm a psychotherapist and former director of alcohol treatment programs, currently practicing online at www.LZcybershrink.com. Publications include two books of poetry and a book on gender and addictions. I blog on Poe's Deadly Daughters. What else? I'm a sometime acoustic singer/songwriter, photographer, champion knitter of socks, and the slowest runner in New York.

    Ya know, it took me until almost Thanksgiving to read your Valentine's Day greeting, for which thanks. Not that I'm a slow reader, it's just that when I first signed onto this web-whatever-it's-called, nothing really worked, so I never formed the habit of visiting it. Seems like nowadays it's sort of a jumpin' sort of a sort of place, so maybe that habit will form after all.
