for more information about Blackjack and Shelley's other books.
There are six in her Jake Samson-Rosie Vicente series, most recently
Royal Flush, published in 1999 by Perseverance/John Daniel and Company.
Unlicensed iconoclast Jake Samson and his pal Rosie, a former carpenter
who doesn't "want to be schlepping two by fours" while
having hot flashes, are PIs in the San Francisco Bay Area. One of
the books in the Barrett Lake series, Interview with Mattie, was
nominated for a prestigious Shamus award.
Shelley or Lee or whatever
you want to call her has taught fiction writing and has worked one
on one with writers as a manuscript consultant on nonfiction, literary
novels and in every genre from memoir to mystery to science fiction
to horror. Several clients and students have gone on to become published
authors. She has been cited in the acknowledgments or dedications
of several published books, including a number of award-winners.
Singer grew up in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, and began her working life as a reporter with UPI in
Chicago. During a checkered and mercifully brief journalism career,
she met many famous people, at least two of whom were murdered,
and many not-so-famous who are still alive.
She has done too many
things for a living.
