M. Louisa Locke

M. Louisa Locke, a retired professor of U.S. and Women’s History, has embarked on a second career as the author of novels and short stories set in Victorian San Francisco that are based on Dr. Locke’s doctoral research on late 19th century working women. In Maids of Misfortune, Annie Fuller, a young widow, goes undercover as a domestic servant to solve a murder, in Uneasy Spirits, Annie and lawyer Nate Dawson investigate fraudulent trance mediums, and in Bloody Lessons, they try to determine who is attacking San Francisco teachers. Deadly Proof, the fourth book in the series, is about women in the San Francisco printing industry and Pilfered Promises is about 19th century department stores, while Scholarly Pursuits follows some of the main characters to the University of California at Berkeley and the newest novel, Lethal Remedies, features women in the medical professions.

Not just content with writing about the past, Locke has turned to the future with the science fiction series set in the collaborative world of the Paradisi Chronicles. Locke is active in the Alliance of Independent Authors and the Historical Fiction Authors Cooperative. More about her work can be found at www.mlouisalocke.com
