  PETER HOCHSTEIN is a former small town and big city newspaper reporter, advertising agency creative star, and closet sex novelist. He was born in Brooklyn but has lived most of his adult life in Manhattan. If for some reason you need to know more about him, you can read his memoir, Heiress Strangled in Molten Chocolate at Nazi Sex Orgy.

  ELAINE KAGAN is a Los Angeles-based actress, journalist (Los Angeles Magazine, Los Angeles Times), and novelist (No Good-Byes, Losing Mr. North). When she visits New York she always has a tuna melt at the Viand Coffee Shop on Madison Avenue. On rye.

  EVE KAGAN is a writer, critically acclaimed actress, and international theater teaching artist. Her recent teaching adventures include a devised original production based on Virginia Woolf’s unpublished short stories with students at Brandeis and running the IB Drama program at the International School of Uganda. Her first trip to New York City was when she was two—she stepped out of the hotel, clamped her hands over both ears, and smiled. Hers has been a visceral love ever since.

  BRIAN KOPPELMAN is the co-writer of Ocean’s Thirteen and Rounders, writer/co-director of Solitary Man, host of the influential podcast The Moment, and creator of the Vine “Six Second Screenwriting Lessons” series which has generated over thirty-seven million loops. He has never been to Kazakhstan.

  DAVID LEVIEN is a screenwriter, director, and novelist, best known for occasionally eating semi-gluten free and as co-writer of the films Ocean’s Thirteen and Rounders and author of the Frank Behr detective novels, including City of the Sun and Where the Dead Lay. The latest in the Behr series, Signature Kill, was published in March 2015.

  ANNETTE MEYERS, author of the Smith & Wetzon Wall Street mysteries, enjoys exploring New York’s history in her fiction. As Maan Meyers, she and her husband Martin have written seven history-mysteries known as The Dutchman Chronicles, and numerous short stories set in New York over the past several centuries.

  The first time ERIN MITCHELL visited New York, she went to the Rainbow Room wearing fishnet stockings. Since then, she’s spent a great deal of energy pretending to live there, when not pursuing her passion for exploring crime fiction, because, as she recently noted in Crimespree magazine, “It is about the human condition. It is about aspects of society we might prefer to ignore. It is rife with social commentary that gives us room for thoughtful consideration.”

  WARREN MOORE is the author of the crime thriller Broken Glass Waltzes and an English professor at a small college in the South. Despite this, none of his activities have warranted mention in Penthouse Forum. Instead, he lives in Newberry, SC, with his wife and daughter.

  JERROLD MUNDIS is a novelist and nonfiction writer whose books have been selected by major book clubs and widely translated. His short work has appeared in publications ranging from The New York Times Magazine to The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. He has lived for most his adult life in (where else?) New York City.

  ED PARK is the author of the novel Personal Days, which was a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award, and the co-editor of Read Hard, Read Harder, and the forthcoming Buffalo Noir. His stories have appeared in The New Yorker, Vice, and elsewhere. He lives in Manhattan.

  THOMAS PLUCK has slung hash, worked on the docks, and even cleaned the crappers of the Guggenheim. He is the author of the World War II action thriller Blade of Dishonor, and the editor of the anthology Protectors: Stories to Benefit PROTECT, and he hosts Noir at the Bar in Manhattan, at Shade in the Village.

  S. J. ROZAN has won most of crime writing’s awards, including the Edgar, Shamus, and Anthony, and the Japanese Maltese Falcon. Her fifteen novels include two as part of the writing team of Sam Cabot. From the Bronx, she now lives in lower Manhattan. She teaches in the summer at Art Workshop International in Assisi, Italy, and invites you all to come join her.

  JONATHAN SANTLOFER’s work has earned him a Nero Award and two NEA grants; he’s been a Visiting Artist at the American Academy in Rome and serves on the board of Yaddo, the oldest arts community in the United States. A distinguished novelist, short story writer, anthologist, and visual artist, he is currently at work on a new crime novel and a fully illustrated novel for children.

  ROBERT SILVERBERG has been a professional writer since 1955, and is known mainly for his science fiction. In 2004, the Science Fiction Writers of America awarded him its Grand Master designation, the highest honor in the science-fiction field.
