Ms. Kozak will be discussing her career as an author, her mystery series staring Wollie Shelley, and her enduring love of libraries.

Harley Jane Kozak, a sometimes actress, lives in Topanga Canyon with her trial lawyer husband, two big dogs, and three small children. Her debut novel, Dating Dead Men, won the Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity awards. Its sequel was Dating is Murder, and Dead Ex arrives in August 2007. Her short prose has appeared in Ms. Magazine, Soap Opera Digest, The Sun, The Santa Monica Review, and the anthologies Mystery Muses and This is Chick Lit.

Ms. Kozak will also participate in an afternoon program sponsored by the Southeast Library System and CASTL, entitled One Book Many Librarians. Her book Dead Ex will be the topic of discussion. Read the book prior to conference and take part in a great discussion with fellow librarians and the book's author.
