Native Texan author Bobbi A. Chukran writes fantasy, mystery and gothic fiction
and comedy.
Bobbi started writing short stories
and plays when she was very young (although back then they were sci-fi
adventures with submarines and aliens). She eventually grew up (although some
would debate that) and turned her attention to other types of writing.
Bobbi's first book was published in
1984. She spent the first 25 years of her career writing non-fiction books and
magazine articles. In 2004, Bobbi turned her attention to fiction, and her
first murder mystery novel, LONE STAR DEATH, was finally published on her 50th
birthday.
Since then Ms. Chukran has written prize-winning
comic fantasy stage plays, poetry, and early readers for children. While writing the plays,
Bobbi discovered a talent for writing comedy, and has since published spoofs—THE JOURNAL OF MINA HARKER, PRINCESS PRIMROSE & the CURSE OF THE BIG SLEEP, CATTYWAMPUS CHRISTMAS (AKA DOT
& the (AMAZING TECHNICOLOR) QUEST FOR THE REAL SANTA CLAUS) (Limestone
Ledge Press) and Texas-style plays/fairy tale adaptations—ANNIERELLA & the (VERY AWESOME)
GOOD QUEEN FAIRY COWMOTHER and LITTLE RED RIDING BOOTS & COOTER COYOTE, MASTER
OF DISGUISE. Both of the plays are published by Brooklyn Publishers.
Bobbi's short works have been
published in Mystery Readers Journal and online in Mysterical-E, the Clockwise
Cat, Kings River Life, The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature and Southern
Humorists. Bobbi's first gothic horror
short story is forthcoming in Dark Eclipse E-Magazine.
Her "Nameless, Texas" small-town
mystery comedy series includes the novella DYE, DYEING, DEAD and a number of related
short stories.
HALLOWEEN THIRTEEN—A Collection of Mysteriously Macabre Tales was also just published and is Ms. Chukran's first collection of short fantasy, gothic and speculative fiction.

Bobbi lives and gardens in central
Texas with a husband and a large colony of cats—both feral and tame. She blogs
obsessively at http://bobbichukran.blogspot.com and maintains a lackadaisical
website at http://bobbichukran.com.
