SEEDS OF DOUBT, her latest legal thriller, made the Denver Post Bestseller List within two weeks of its recent release. It also reached number three on the Rocky Mountain News Bestseller List. To top it off, the Post included SEEDS OF DOUBT on its annual holiday fiction recommendations list. This Denver, CO author will be blowing into Illinois soon. Already the recipient of the 2004 Colorado Authors League Award for Genre Fiction, EXTREME INDIFFERENCE (Pocket Star Books; November 2004, now in paperback) just won the 2004 Colorado Book Award for Best Mystery. And now mystery fans in Illinois will get a chance to learn some of Kane’s secrets when she talks about writing mysteries. This one-hour presentation at Barbara’s Bookstore is about how one writer developed a unique and interesting character: a dyslexic criminal defense attorney. Barbara’s Bookstore is located at 1100 Lake Street, Oak Park, IL. The author will be on hand before the presentation to chat with readers and autograph copies of her books. Kane is a seasoned presenter at bookstores and libraries, and a favorite of book clubs and mystery fans. She will talk about Seeds Of Doubt and its predecessor in the Jackie Flowers series, Extreme Indifference. As the protagonist in the series is dyslexic and learning disabilities are an issue the author works with closely, Kane will discuss this aspect of her character and the many ways it affects both her personal and professional lives. Judging by Kane’s recent deluge of literary successes it is understandable that Publishers Weekly predicted, “Kane deserves to join the ranks of the big-time legal-thriller eagles.” With SEEDS OF DOUBT, her fourth book, now storming its way across the country, mystery fans might be well advised to make their way through sleet and snow, to Barbara’s Bookstore on February 16th at 7:30 p.m. Stephanie Kane was born in Brooklyn, NY and now lives in Denver with her husband, a federal judge. With B.A. and law degrees from the University of Colorado, she clerked for the Colorado Supreme Court, was a partner in a top Denver law firm, and a criminal defense attorney. Her first Jackie Flowers novel, Blind Spot, was published in 2000, and her thriller, Quiet Time, came out in 2001.
