Virtual Author Talk: Nina Simon

Join Nina Simon online as she chats about her lighthearted whodunnit about a grandmother-mother-daughter trio of amateur sleuths, Mother-Daughter Murder Night. Nothing brings a family together like a murder next door!

Mother-Daughter Murder Night follows high-powered business woman Lana Rubicon. She has a lot to be proud of with her keen intelligence, impeccable taste, and the L.A. real estate empire she’s built. But when she finds herself trapped 300 miles north of the city, convalescing in a sleepy coastal town with her adult daughter Beth and teenage granddaughter Jack, Lana is stuck counting otters instead of square footage—and hoping that boredom won’t kill her before her cancer does. In a turn of events, when Jack happens upon a dead body while kayaking she quickly becomes a suspect in the homicide investigation, and the Rubicon women are thrown into chaos.

About the Author: Nina Simon writes crime fiction about strong women. Before turning to fiction, she wore many hats: NASA engineer, slam poet, game designer, museum director, and nonprofit CEO. Her work on community participation in museums, libraries, parks, and theaters has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, NPR, and the TEDx stage. She wrote Mother-Daughter Murder Night, her debut novel, as a love letter to her mother, and as a way to entertain, comfort, and connect with her during a major health crisis. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Ms. Simon now lives off-the-grid in the Santa Cruz Mountains with her family.
