A dual citizen of Canada and the US, Lou Allin is the author of the Belle Palmer series, published by RendezVous Press and set in Sudbury, Ontario, the Nickel Capital of the World. In 2005, in hardcover from Five Star Press came A Little Learning Is a Murderous Thing, an academic mystery at Copper University in the Michigan Upper Peninsula. With a Ph.D. dissertation on Christopher Marlowe, the murdered English Renaissance spy, Lou came naturally to a love of crime stories. Now she is newly retired from teaching police Report Writing and Presentations to Criminal Justice students at Cambrian College in Northern Ontario. Leaving behind a plow truck, two snowblowers, two scoops, and five shovels, she now resides in Sooke, BC, overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca. In progress is Lou's new series set in Fossil Bay, where the rain forest meets the sea. And on the Surface Die introduces Holly Martin, an RCMP corporal in charge of a small detachment on the picturesque south coast of Vancouver Island. Lou also has another book from Five Star coming in 2009. Man Corn Murders takes place in the Escalante-Grand Staircase National Monument, the last mapped area in the U.S. Joining the other dogs in her series, Freya and Nikon, the German shepherds, and Friday (aka Strudel), the bush poodle, will be Shogun, a rescue border collie and Zia, an American border collie pup.
