About Me:

M. D. has been writing for over ten years. Metered Space from the noir SF Mystery series The Jack Meter Case Files, was her first published novel. The next one in the series, Meter Made, came out in November 2005. Another Jack Meter Case File, Meter Destiny, is scheduled to come out in 2007-08, from Zumaya Otherworlds. Synergy, an SF Thriller, was released in March 2007.

In 2000, M. D. edited a children's anthology, "The Friendship Anthology", published by the Nepean Public Library, and was the editor of a Canadian Anthology, Looking In... Portraits of the Canadian Soul, a collection of stories, essays and poetry, accompanied by pictures taken by a series of Canadian photographers from across the country. She has also been involved in numerous additional editing projects such as Now we're cooking! 43 Authors in the Kitchen.

M. D. also writes reviews of SF novels for The Eternal Night, an online SF Review site from the UK.

M. D. Benoit discovered science fiction and mystery through her father's bedtime stories, which were always full of gadgets, dark doorways, and disappearing people. She lives in Ottawa, Canada, with her husband and her cat (who is really an alien in disguise). She has a Masters Degree in Psychology from Saint Mary's University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, where she lived for eight years before moving to Ottawa, Ontario.

She is currently hard at work on her sixth manuscript, Entropy and a fourth Jack Meter Case File, Meter Parents.

My book, The Beatitudes, is a paranormal thriller set in New Orleans. It will be out in the fall and I am donating all royalties directly to the New Orleans Public Library Foundation. Libraries support the infrastructure of a great city, so I have started The Beatitudes Network to promote awareness of the importance of public libraries in NOLA.
The blogsite www.beatitudesinneworleans.blogspot.com describes the Network, has excerpts from The Beatitudes, recipes, and more. Merci mille fois. Lyn Lejeune.
Writers, please pass the word…..it’s for a good cause….don’t let the libraries of New Orleans or the US go the way of The Great Library of Alexandria. P.S. just posted an excerpt on my Crimespace page.

Look forward to staying in contact.

Nice to cyber-meet you. I did some work on a Canadian/SA co-production and all the Canadians were so nice. Are you all like that or was that an anomaly?

I haven't read SF in awhile. I'm alwys caught up in mysteries. I just read the first chapter of Metered Space on your website. It's a good read. I look forward to reading it and the other books in the Jack Meter Series.

Glad to see you here, too.

Great to see another Zumaya author here...though I must say it seems as though I see your name around in a lot of places. But, hey, that's what they're for, right.

Thanks for asking to be your Crimespace friend...just one more place to find you!

Best,

Dorien (Grey, that is)
