Rochelle Staab

Rochelle Staab is a Los Angeles mystery writer, avid hiker, trail blogger, and historian with a deep background in the radio and music industry. Using Mother Nature as a tour guide, Rochelle has blogged about over 300 different hikes in the mountains, urbs, and burbs of Los Angeles, exploring L.A. from the ground up. She returned to the fiction-writing community after a hiatus to earn a BA in history with an emphasis on American and Los Angeles. Her interest in the evolving roles of women in Los Angeles during the early twentieth-century interwar period inspired Rochelle’s fourth novel, BEHAVING BADLY, the first Tess Hammond historical noir mystery novel set in 1932 Los Angeles.
