Jeff spent more than forty years creating community-based programs and services in New Jersey for children and adults with autism\, including twenty-five years as president and executive director of the Life Skills Resource Center\, before retiring in 2018 to devote more time to writing. In October 2021\, an epic late-night puzzle hunt based on Jeff’s novella\, “Motive for Murder.” raised over $1 million for at-risk children in New York City. Jeff is a past president of the New York Chapter of Mystery Writers of America. He lives in Monmouth Junction\, N.J.\, with his wife. Carol\, and two cats\, Vergil and Aeneas. \nRhonda Barnat is a crisis-management expert and writes crime fiction under the pen name Rona Bell.

Her short story “The Call Is Yours” appears in Me Too Short Stories: An Anthology of crime writers responding to Me Too issues\, edited by Elizabeth Zelvin and published by Level Best Books. She has contributed a number of pieces to Mystery Readers Journal. \nGary Cahill’s first short story\, “That Kind of Guy\,” appeared in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine as an homage to the 1920s and beyond dark and twisty classic Black Mask Magazine. Other work has been published in Pulp Empire\, Short Story Me Genre Fiction (editor nominated for best story on the web); the Pulp Magazine anthology The Kennedy Curse; and The First Line Literary Journal\, Volumes I\, II\, III\, the print anthology. He is podcast cofounder of Plan B Magazine and wrote a feature cover story for Mystery Weekly (now Mystery) Magazine and Shotgun Honey\, among others.

Short stories include “Leading Ladies\,” which received honorable mention in the 2022 Best American Mystery and Suspense anthology.
