Libby Fischer HellmannLibby Fischer Hellmann left a career in broadcast news in Washington, DC and moved to Chicago 35 years ago, where she, natu­rally, began to write gritty crime fiction. Twelve novels and twenty short stories later, she claims they’ll take her out of te Windy City feet first. She has been nominated for many awards in the mystery writing commu­nity and has even won a few. With the addition of Jump Cut, her novels include the now five-volume Ellie Foreman series, which she describes as a cross between Desperate Housewives and 24; the hard-boiled 4-vol­ume Georgia Davis PI series, and three stand-alone historical thrillers that Libby calls her Revolution Trilogy. Her short stories have been published in a dozen anthologies, the Saturday Evening Post, and Ed Gorman’s 25 Criminally Good Short Stories collection. Read More Read Less
