D. B. Borton

Specializing in humorous mysteries, D. B. Borton has published thirteen mystery novels in two series, the Cat Caliban series, now being reissued and continued by Joffe Books, and the Gilda Liberty series, as well as the mystery novels SMOKE and BAYOU CITY BURNING, and the humorous science fiction novel SECOND COMING.

A native of Houston, Texas, Borton became an ardent admirer of Nancy Drew at a young age. At the age of fourteen, she acquired her own blue roadster and began her travels. She has lived in the Southwest and Midwest and on the West Coast, where she has collected three degrees in English without relinquishing her affection for the expressiveness of the everyday language that real people speak. Her research skills and her ear for language both serve her well in mysteries set in realistic places and featuring characters with authentic voices.
