Lord of the Wings by Donna Andrews5/11/2023 ![]() ![]() Titles like Click Here for Murder and Delete All Suspects evoke a chuckle, and the books are chock full of Donna’s signature humor, but underlying the humor, the question of what it truly means to be human gives the series an unexpected poignance. Four feature a sentient, sleuthing AI named Turing Hopper. ![]() Although she has no plans to give up writing for the life of a gumshoe, Donna is a registered private investigator in the state of Virginia.ĭonna has written 31 novels. On her website, she shares stories of her caving exploits, her derring-do at an indoor rock climbing gym, and her adventures at PI school. Her love of mysteries developed during her college years. ![]() She’s also a “self-confessed nerd” whose childhood favorites were fantasy and science fiction. It will come as no surprise that a woman whose books bear titles like The Lord of the Wings, Terns of Endearment, and Revenge of the Wrought Iron Flamingos would have a clever turn of phrase and a sassy sense of humor. Donna served multiple terms, which should tell you something about her dedication to the mystery writing community. She was the board’s Executive Vice President, an often-thankless job that entails an immense amount of work and responsibility. I was a regional president, which made me an automatic member of the national board. I first met Donna Andrews when we served on the national board of Mystery Writers of America together. ![]()
