About this ebook
A pair of sandals and a small boy’s shirt discovered in the room of a deceased hoarder brings back memories of an unsolved case from Chicago P.I. Anni Koskinen’s past – and draws her into the disturbing world of an outsider artist. Does his artwork, full of gruesome imagery about violence literally ripped from the headlines, suggest the artist stepped across the border of his imaginary world into real-life murder? Already busy with a client whose schizophrenic son is on the run, chased by his own demons, Anni finds herself revisiting a case that she couldn’t close, seeking clues in the eerie, troubling, and strangely beautiful secret realm of an eccentric man who everyone assumed was harmless.

I’m an academic librarian who spent several decades at a small liberal arts college where I coordinated our instruction program, worked on digital projects, and did a whole lot of other stuff, too, because being small means wearing many hats. My research interests include how students learn to do research, how algorithmic personalization and persuasion influence society, and how social issues are represented in crime fiction. I also occasionally write crime fiction of my own (and review it, too).In the Dark is actually the third in a series that started back in 2008 and was published by Minotaur. It shouldn't be necessary to read the first two (In the Wind and Through the Cracks) unless you're one of those readers who feels compelled to read series in order. Personally, I'm too impulsive, and kind of like reading in any older order and piecing together the character's backstory as I go. I wrote this book bearing in mind people who hadn't read the other books (or did and forgot all the details).More recently, I wrote Runtime, combining my experiences teaching at a small liberal arts college with my interest in the ways technology is influencing society - in this case, imagining what might happen if a company like Cambridge Analytica could actually deliver on its promises. It follows a young woman who is on the run from powerful forces who takes shelter in another woman's identity before she is forced to confront her past and the technology she helped to develop.In my work as a librarian I was a champion of open access to research. These books were formatted and made available online thanks to the Minnesota Library Publishing Project, which makes the PressBooks platform available to Minnesotans at no charge. I introduced it to faculty who have used it for courses and for their own research. While I don't expect anyone involved in writing and publishing fiction to give their work away for free, I am in the fortunate position of being able to do that. And I really, truly, deeply hate the business of marketing and promotion.If you read my stories, I hope you enjoy them. So many books, so little time.
