3 eBooks from Melodie Johnson Howe, plus a video profile
Today we've got three new eBooks from mystery author and former actress Melodie Johnson Howe!
Howe began writing as a child, composing plays such as Nevada—a western that ended with the villain being sent to his room—and began acting in the mid-60s. For a decade, she worked in movies alongside actors such as Clint Eastwood, Alan Alda and James Caan. Always wanting to be a writer she left the Hollywood grind in the early 80s to write mysteries.
Howe’s first novel, The Mother Shadow (1989), featured Claire Conrad and Maggie Hill, whom Howe describes as “the female answer to Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin.” It was nominated for an Edgar Award, and was followed by a sequel: Beauty Dies (1994). An acclaimed author of short fiction, her most recent book is Shooting Hollywood: The Diana Poole Stories (2012), a collection of short stories starring a forty-year-old actress trying to make a comeback.
