Nancy Cole Silverman

SoCal Crime Writers, Saturday, May 4, 3:30-4:30pm, Mountain View Mausoleum

Nancy Cole Silverman spent nearly twenty-five years in news and talk radio, beginning her career in college on the talent side as one of the first female voices on the air. Later, on the business side in Los Angeles, she retired as one of two female general managers in the nation’s second-largest radio market. After a successful career in the radio industry, Silverman picked up her pen to write fiction, her short stories, and crime-focused novels–the Carol Childs and Misty Dawn Mysteries are based in Los Angeles, while her newest series, that Kat Lawson Mysteries, takes a more international approach. Kat Lawson, a former investigative reporter, has lost her job due to an office romance gone terribly wrong. Her boss was promoted. Kat was fired. And now, Kat finds herself working undercover for the FBI as a feature writer for a travel publication. Expect lots of international intrigue, vivid descriptions of small European villages, great food, lost archives, and non-stop action. Silverman lives in Los Angeles with her husband and thoroughly pampered standard poodle.
