- Sara Paretsky (2015, paperback release April 2021) was the first monograph examining Sara Paretsky’s detective fiction and the first study to explore detective fiction generically as trauma literature. The book reflected my decades of research on detective fiction, insights gained from Paretsky’s papers (in Newberry Library and the author’s home) and two extended interviews. The research’s importance was recognised by a Marsden Travel Grant to present at the Popular Culture Association Conference (2015), an Earl Bargainnier Award for the paper presented, and the commissioning of “Crime Fiction and Trauma” for The Routledge Companion to Crime Fiction (2020).
