Kate
Flora returns to Books in Boothbay on September 11. A long-time favorite of Maine's premier book fair, Kate's fascination with people's criminal tendencies began in the Maine
attorney general's office. Deadbeat dads, people hurting their kids, and
employers' discrimination aroused her curiosity about human behavior. The author
of 21 books and many short stories, Flora's been a finalist for the
Edgar, Agatha, Anthony, and Derringer awards. She won the Public Safety
Writers Association award for nonfiction and twice won the Maine Literary
Award. Her most recent books are Death Comes Knocking and A World of Deceit
and a story collection, Careful What You Wish For: Stories of revenge,
retribution, and the world made right. 2020 saw a romantic suspense, Wedding
Bell Ruse, and stories in The Faking of the President, and the Heartbreaks
and Half-Truths anthology.
Flora's nonfiction, focusing on aspects of the public safety officers'
experience, includes two true crimes, Finding Amy: A true story of murder in
Maine (with Joseph K. Loughlin) and Death Dealer: How cops and cadaver dogs
brought a killer to justice, the co-written memoir, A Good Man with a Dog: A
Game Warden's 25 Years in the Maine Woods, and Shots Fired: The
Misconceptions, Misunderstandings, and Myths about police shootings with
Joseph K. Loughlin.
