Dana Stabenow was born in Anchorage and raised on 75-foot fish tender in the Gulf of Alaska.
She knew there was a warmer, drier job out there somewhere and found it in writing books.
Her first science fiction novel, Second Star, sank without a trace, her first crime fiction novel, A Cold Day for Murder, won an Edgar award, her first thriller, Blindfold Game, hit the New York Times bestseller list, and her twenty-fifth novel and sixteenth Kate Shugak novel, Whisper to the Blood, came out in February 2009 and was also a NYT bestseller.

A NIGHT TOO DARK
 The seventeenth Kate Shugak novel, to be published in February 2010.
The discovery of the world’s second largest gold mine in Kate’s back
yard is bringing too much change to the Park too soon, and every Park
rat from the four aunties to Ranger Dan is having to adjust. The miners
are bringing their own set of problems with them, too, including murder…
The title comes from the last two lines of the Robert Frost poem, “Acceptance”:
Let the night be too dark for me to see
Into the future. Let what will be, be.

WHISPER TO THE BLOOD
 The sixteenth Kate Shugak novel, published in February 2009.
The title comes from a Theodore Roethke poem called “Prognosis,” second stanza:
Flesh behind steel and glass is unprotected
From enemies that whisper to the blood…
A single misstep, Roethke writes, and we leave the quick.
A single action by one Park rat, and the repercussions affect them all.
Where does the story of Whisper to the Blood begin? With Johnny’s
hitchhike north three years before? With Louis Deem’s death a year ago?
With this year’s discovery on Park land of a gold deposit worth
billions of dollars?

WHISPER TO THE BLOOD

A COLD DAY FOR MURDER
 It’s December in the Park, and a ranger is missing.
It’s no great loss to the rest of the Park rats, they figure he’s
stumbled into a snowbank and will re-emerge come breakup, just in time
for the ground to thaw and them to bury him.
But when the man sent to look for him also disappears, Kate Shugak,
ex-investigator for the Anchorage D.A. and Park homesteader, is sent in
search of them both. First in the Kate Shugak series.
Dana’s Note: Yes, this is the one that was lost for two years in my father’s garage and went on to win the Edgar award.
