A retired educator at the
college level of thirty-five years, Juliet Kincaid has been hooked on fiction
since grade school, especially novels. To date, she's read more than 3,000 novels, mostly mysteries, written sixteen or so, and published six (and counting). She has also written many short stories and published four collections.
Juliet has always preferred stories that supply
adventure and escape to so-called literary fiction. She tries to write the same
sort of stories and novels as the ones she likes to read, that is, those that
contain humor, wit, action, and protagonists who win the day.
In addition to the cozy
historical Calendar Mysteries that tell the story of Minty Wilcox and Daniel
Price from newly met to newlywed in Kansas City, a place that could get deadly
a hundred years or so ago, her published work includes the Cinderella, P. I. fairy
tale mysteries for grown-ups that feature Cinderella as a detective twenty
years, three kids, and a few extra pounds after the ball. (Happy endings
guaranteed.) Her stories and novels are available as eBooks and trade
paperbacks. In the near future she hopes to make all of her eBooks available through Draft2Digital.
Dr. J, as her students
called her, also has written and published Novel Basics, a concise yet
complete guide to writing a novel. Her dissertation focused on fiction
in diary form.
Juliet lives with her
daughter, Jessica Kincaid, the bead artist, in a house cluttered with books,
mostly detective fiction, just a few miles from where Minty Wilcox and Daniel
Price had their adventures in January
Jinx. Their story continues in Fatal
February, Mischief in March, Apart in April and Old Time Stories.
