Rochelle Staab is a Los Angeles mystery writer, avid hiker, trail blogger, historian, and former radio and music industry executive. Using Mother Nature as a tour guide, Rochelle has blogged more than three hundred different hikes in the mountains, urbs, and burbs of Los Angeles, exploring L.A. from the ground up. She returned to the mystery writing community following a hiatus to earn a BA in history with an emphasis on American and Los Angeles studies. Her interest in the history and the evolving roles of women in Los Angeles during the early twentieth-century interwar period inspired BEHAVING BADLY, Rochelle’s fourth novel.
