Joanne Dobson is a novelist, retired English professor (Fordham University), and creative writing teacher at the Hudson Valley Writers Center in Sleepy Hollow, NY. In 2014, Joanne was honored by the Writer's Center as Noted Woman of Letters. Joanne has often taught National Endowment for the Humanities and Fulbright Fellowship International summer programs at Amherst College. Joanne's six-book Professor Karen Pelletier academic mystery series (Doubleday and Poisoned Pen Press) won her an Agatha nomination and a Noted Author of the Year award from the New York State Library Association. In her latest book, The Kashmiri Shawl, Joanne departs from mystery writing into the genre of historical fiction. The Kashmiri Shawl (2014), takes fugitive missionary wife, Anna Wheeler, from the sultry climes of 19th c. India to the cosmopolitan chaos of New York City, where she searches for a lost daughter. On the eve of America's Civil War, Anna, now a popular poet, is lured back to India by a vengeful husband, memories of a forbidden love, and rumors of her stolen child.
