Angela Zeman

Angela Zeman writes mystery fiction, from cozy to noir. Her first novel, THE WITCH AND THE BORSCHT PEARL, developed from the ensemble-rich Mrs. Risk (the witch) story series first published in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. The Mrs. Risk novel, THE BORSCHT PEARL, and the later compiled companion book of Mrs. Risk stories, TALES OF THE WITCH, are newly available from Crossroad Press (formerly from Otto Penzler's Mysterious Press) in every venue and format. More collections of her short fiction are planned.

"The First Tale of Roxanne," her latest new series debut, centered on Ancient Rome, appears in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, as the May 2013 issue's Cover Story. "The Second Tale of Roxanne" can be expected soon.

Several of her stories are created using ensembles, although sometimes she writes stand-alones. Many can be found in Nelson DeMille's anthology, THE RICH AND THE DEAD; Jeffery Deaver's A HOT AND SULTRY NIGHT FOR CRIME; Stuart Kaminsky's ON A RAVEN'S WING and another: SHOW BUSINESS IS MURDER; Linda Fairstein's anthology: THE PROSECUTION RESTS; Nancy Pickard's MOM, APPLE PIE, AND MURDER; Mary Higgins Clark's THE NIGHT AWAKENS, and others. A new series (Murphy's Law) debuted in Robert J. Randisi's noir anthology: CRIME SQUARE. Her second in the Trueden Falls series can be found in Dennis Webster's annual ADIRONDACK MYSTERIES anthology. Her short fiction can be found in several anthologies and publications edited by Mary Higgins Clark, Stuart M. Kaminsky, .

Read a multi-author blog called "Murphy's Blog--if anything can go wrong, it will happen here!" (Email via url onsite if interested in contributing.) Also within the website is planned a webzine: Risk AZ Art magazine, displaying works from various types of story tellers. Author and editor Dennis Webster--in Graphic and Ghost--details the graphic novel scene.

Her current project is a suspense thriller novel: ECHO. That protagonist first appeared in "Green Heat", a story from Jeffery Deaver's anthology that Otto Penzler and Nelson DeMille chose for Nelson's collection of Best American Mystery Stories of the Year (Houghton Mifflin).
