L.L. Kirchner

L.L. Kirchner loves a book that's easy to read and hard to put down. Heroines who are self-aware enough to know they’re in over their heads and run at trouble anyway.

Her historical suspense series The Queenpin Chronicles follows women nobody took seriously doing things nobody expected. Her new Steel City series brings that same energy to 1990s Pittsburgh, where the real mystery is always who gets believed and why.

She’s also written two memoirs, based on her life and work in Qatar and India.

If it doesn’t surprise you that she was once simultaneously bridal editor for a society rag, dating columnist for an alt-newsweekly, and religion editor for an LGBTQ+ paper, you’re probably already her reader.
