 Meet-the-New-Authors Breakfast Chair: Rochelle Staab
Rochelle will host the annual Meet-the-New Authors Breakfast at Left Coast Crime when everyone is invited to have breakfast with the new authors and hear a bit about their books. A Los Angeles mystery writer, avid hiker, trail blogger, and historian with a radio and music business background, Rochelle Staab recently returned to the mystery community after a seven year hiatus to earn a history degree. A lover of SoCal history and mystery, she has blogged about hundreds of different hikes in the urbs and burbs of Los Angeles, exploring L.A.’s background from the ground up while, with a writer’s eye, building a catalog of spots to hide dead bodies. Rochelle’s new historical mystery set in 1932 Los Angeles, is coming soon. [website]
