Loved Death of a Cozy Writer. Can't wait to read your newest. We have a friend in common, Dottie H of Yarmouth, MA. She suggested I read your book and I'm glad she did!

Loved your latest and now for the vulgar part. Seeking blurbsters for my latest, Triple Jeopary, a wickedly satirical caper about bad-spirited financial types getting their due. If you'd like, come back to me at notdeadyet@att.net.
All the Best,
Geneva,
Sorry there wasn't time for chat at your bash yesterday. Nice kick-off. Talked with Bob about poss. TV series and he says that you're on that. Second, are you agented, and if not do you want to be? Alternatively, if you're unhappily agented, do you want to trade up? Overall, good on you. Stay at it.
Author: DEATH OF A COZY WRITER (chosen by Kirkus Reviews as one of the Best Books of 2008; nominated for Left Coast Crime, Anthony, and Macavity awards; winner of the Malice Domestic Grant and the Agatha Award for Best First Novel). First in the DCI St. Just mystery series. Published July 2008 by Midnight Ink.
Author: DEATH AND THE LIT CHICK. Second in the DCI St. Just mystery series. Published April 2009 by Midnight Ink. Publishers Weekly gave Death and the Lit Chick a starred review: "Malliet's satirical take on the mystery scene is spot-on. Adding spice is the inspector's new romantic interest, writer and criminologist Portia De'Ath, with whom the love-starved widower becomes deliciously smitten."
COZY is set in a manor house outside Cambridge, England, and LIT CHICK is set in a castle outside Edinburgh, Scotland. Both novels are affectionate send-ups of their respective genres.
Winner for novel DEAD PERFECT: RWA's 2005 Stiletto Award (Thriller Category).
Finalist for DEAD PERFECT: 2005 Daphne du Maurier Mystery/Suspense Award and the Sheila 2005 Writing Competition (Chick Lit Category).
Anything by Robert Barnard, Caroline Graham, Martha Grimes, Barbara Vine, P.D. James, and, of course, Agatha Christie. There are many others, but these are the authors I've read for years.
