VJ Books presents Hallie Ephron!

Hallie teaches writing workshops at conferences across the country, and she is the author of Writing and Selling Your Mystery Novel: How to Knock 'Em Dead with Style. The book received rave reviews and was nominated for Edgar and for Anthony awards.

She grew up in Los Angeles, the third of four writing Ephron sisters (Nora, Delia, and Amy) and her parents were screenwriters Henry and Phoebe Ephron who wrote classic movies like The Desk Set and Carousel. She credits genes with giving her the courage to finally get started writing fiction. After careers as a teacher, educational consultant, and high tech marketing copywriter, Hallie tried her hand at writing fiction. She and Donald Davidoff, a neuropsychologist at Harvard’s McLean Hospital, teamed up to create fictional forensic neuropsychologist Dr. Peter Zak and investigator Annie Squires. Under the shared pseudonym G. H. Ephron, they published five series mystery novels.

Hallie combined writing talent with a love of teaching in Writing and Selling Your Mystery Novel: How to Knock 'Em Dead with Style. She says, "Mystery novels are genre fiction, and though there’s no one way to write one, there are plenty insights that can make the process a whole lot less painful the first time out." Hallie also gives writing workshops across the country.
