G.P. Gottlieb (https://gpgottlieb.com) has performed, taught, and administrated, but she's happiest when writing recipe-laced murder mysteries. Battered: A Whipped and Sipped Mystery, was published in 2019 after she won the contract in an online competition. Smothered, the second book in the series, launched in 2021, and Charred, the third Whipped and Sipped Mystery launched in 2023. You can hear Gottlieb's podcast interviews as host for New Books in Literature, a channel on the New Books Network (https://newbooksnetwork.com/search?+q...) or read some of her sharp-tongued essays on Medium (https://medium.com/@gpgottlieb). When not reading or writing, she loves walking along the lake path, attending concerts and plays, and travelling.
