Felicia A. Carparelli

Hi- I am a Chicago writer, musician, and teacher. I have created works that reflect my diverse experience in life and Chicago schools and neighborhoods. I also have a great interest in the works of Jane Austen and have created fan fiction for the Jane Austen Society that you can enjoy on my page. My life long love of mysteries, including Sherlock Holmes, inspired my book, “Murder in the Library” which has also been translated into Italian, “Omicidio in Biblioteca.”

My thriller, Killing Mr. Darcy, and my romance novel, Hot for Teacher, Shakespeare Made us Fall in Love, grew out of my love for classic fiction. My Sapphic mystery, Tile M for Murder, published by Bella Books, February 2024. Stay tuned for my retelling of Pride and Prejudice, Fitz and LIz. Radical Mythis and Liturgies, a book fo short stories will be published late 2026, Jaded Ibis Press.

My short fiction and writing in Scarlet, the Galway Review, Mystic Owl. Flash Phantoms, Beyond the Grave, Bold Voices and Sinister Wisdon and the New York Times. I am working on a collection of short stories about Body Dysmorphia, Eating Disorders and the control of women by society and their families.
