275 Words: Kris Neri's latest publication is REVENGE FOR OLD TIMES’ SAKE, the third book in the multi-award-nominated Tracy Eaton mysteries, of which MYSTERY SCENE writes, "Kris Neri and Tracy Eaton will be favorites in the mystery world for quite a long time." Her first novel, REVENGE OF THE GYPSY QUEEN -- featuring Tracy Eaton, mystery writer, detective wannabe and the offspring of eccentric Hollywood stars -- was nominated for Agatha, Anthony and Macavity Awards. The second book in this madcap series is DEM BONES' REVENGE. Library Journal calls DEM BONES' REVENGE, which spotlights the career and murderous scandals of Tracy's exasperating mother, screen legend Martha Collins, "…a real page turner." She has also published a paranormal mystery, HIGH CRIMES ON THE MAGICAL PLANE, a supernatural mystery, which NYT Bestselling author Diana Gabaldon has described as “delicious; a funny, pell-mell romp of an adventure rife with psychics, FBI agents and clowns.” HIGH CRIMES ON TEH MAGICAL PLANE has recently received a Lefty Award nomination from Left Coast Crime 2010. Kris has also published a standalone thriller, NEVER SAY DIE, an edgy suspense novel featuring professional triathlete Zoey Morgan. William Kent Krueger, author of the bestselling MERCY FALLS, writes of it: "NEVER SAY DIE delivers everything a discerning fan of the genre could desire: a tough, engaging heroine, plenty of suspense and romance, and a complex mystery that stubbornly refuses to be solved until the final pages." Her short story collection is ROSE IN THE SNOW: TALES OF MISCHIEF AND MAYHEM. She has also published some sixty short stories, two of which won the Derringer Award for Best Short Story and two of which were Pushcart Prize nominees. And she teaches writing online for the prestigious Writers' Program of the UCLA Extension School in Los Angeles. Kris is co-owner of THE WELL RED COYOTE bookstore in Sedona, Arizona., where she lives with her husband, Joe. Readers can reach her through her website: http://www.krisneri.com.
