Still sane(ish) after 27 years of teaching high school English, Vinnie  Hansen has retired and plays keyboards with ukulele groups in Santa Cruz, California, where she lives with her husband and the requisite  cat.

She also writes literary and crime fiction. A Silver Falchion and two-time Claymore finalist, Vinnie is the author of the Carol Sabala mystery series, the novels Lostart Street, One Gun, and Crime Writer, as  well as over seventy published short works.

A member of Mystery Writers of American, Sisters in Crime, and the Short  Mystery Fiction Society, she loves connecting with readers. If you have  a book club, email her to arrange a Zoom chat, or sign-up for her quarterly newsletter via her website.
