San Francisco writer CJ Verburg is an award-winning playwright, theater director, and author of five international literature collections, a memoir, and two mystery series. She started her literary career early, telling stories to stuffed animals; she wrote her first novel and won her first playwriting award in her early teens. After graduating from Mount Holyoke College, the venue for her first full-length play (a rock-protest musical), she became a part-time cocktail waitress, proofreader, and boat builder, and then an in-house and freelance editor and writer for publishers in Boston and San Francisco. Her adventures on the noir side of publishing inspired her first Cory Goodwin mystery, "Silent Night Violent Night." Staging plays with her Yarmouth Port neighbor and friend, the artist Edward Gorey, triggered her multimedia memoir "Edward Gorey On Stage" and her Edgar Rowdey Cape Cod mystery series, beginning with "Croaked" and "Zapped."

Music, mystery and Paris
During Cory Goodwin's trip to Paris...she has a chance to revisit
the romance and excitement of her youthful activism during the
Vietnam War....and is haunted by the memory of the unsolved murder
of a rock musician.... Includes recordings of several of the
tunes... The music is exhilarating, the romance is hot, and the
mystery is challenging. A perfect book for summertime reading even
if you can't get to Paris. -- Adele Fasick, Amazon 6/4/175.0 out of

Sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll plus an unsolved murder
...A fast-paced, smoothly written, and enjoyable journey. The
mystery will keep you guessing. Whether or not you're old enough to
remember the sixties, this book will bring them to life. The
characters are complex and real - even the rock stars. Highly
recommended. -- Patricia, Amazon 5/31/17
