About the Author

S.J. Rozan is the author of the Lydia Chin/Bill Smith Series including her most recent critically acclaimed work A Bitter Feast and the other four in the series: No Colder Place (1998 Shamus and Anthony Nominee for Best Novel), Mandarin Plaid, Concourse (Shamus Award for Best Novel) and China Trade. The series also includes a number of short stories, including "Hoops", a 1997 Edgar nominee.

Born and brought up in the Bronx, Rozan is an architect in a New York firm whose practice includes police stations, firehouses, zoo buildings, and the largest terra cotta restoration project in the world. A Knicks fan and a lousy but dogged point guard herself, Rozan has worked as a self-defense instructor, jewelry saleswoman and janitor. S.J. Rozan runs an on-going series of panels on the subject of "Crime Writing and The American Imagination" at New York's 92nd Street Y. She has a BA from Oberlin College and a M.Arch from SUNY/Buffalo and lives in a tiny but sunny apartment in Greenwich Village.
