She is editor/author of NAKED CAME THE PHOENIX, a star-studded, tongue-in-cheek collaborative serial novel about murder in a fashionable health spa. A second collaboration, I’D KILL FOR THAT, is set in an upscale gated community. Marcia’s short stories appear in numerous collections, including “With Love, Marjorie Ann” and “Safety First”, both Agatha Award nominees, and “Too Many Cooks,” winner of both the Agatha and Anthony awards for Best Short Story. Another story, “Driven to Distraction” won the Agatha, was nominated for an Anthony, and selected for reprint in two “years best” collections.
