About the Author

Theasa Tuohy is a long-time journalist who has happily turned her life experiences and reporting skills to fiction featuring female reporters. Theasa worked for five daily newspapers and the Associated Press. Her "first woman" stints included assistant city editor at The Detroit News and the copy desk at The (Newark) Star-Ledger.

As a playwright, Theasa co-authored the book, or libretto, of Scandalous: The Musical, an award-winning show about the life of D. H. Lawrence, author of “Lady Chatterley’s Lover,” ”Women in Love” and “Sons and Lovers.” E. M. Forster deemed D. H. Lawrence “the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation.”

“The Woman at la Gare de l’Est” is the first in a mystery series. "Flying Jenny" was published by Akashic Books in June 2018. "The Five O'Clock Follies" came from Calliope Press in 2012.

She is a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley and lives in Manhattan.
