Vinnie Hansen fled the howling winds of the South Dakota prairie and headed for the California coast the day after high school graduation. She graduated from the University of California, Irvine (BA) and San Francisco State University (MA) writing programs. She's gone on to pen numerous short stories; Lostart Street, a novel of mystery, murder and moonbeams; and the Carol Sabala mystery series. The seventh installment in the series, Black Beans & Venom, made the finalist list for the Claymore Award as did the opening of One Gun. Still sane after 27 years of teaching high school English, Vinnie has retired and lives in Santa Cruz, California, with her husband and the requisite cat.
