About Dana Stabenow

Dana Stabenow was born in the then territory of Alaska in 1952, and raised on a 75' fish tender occupying Cook Inlet and Prince William Sound. She wrote when she wasn't seasick. Ms. Stabenow still lives in Anchorage. Presumably this is why she has such excellent insight into the Alaskan scene. Following the dictum of writing about what you know best, Dana Stabelow has won awards for twelve other Kate Shugak mysteries about Alaska as well as three books in another series featuring a fictional Liam Campbell. One can't help but speculate that time away from Anchorage, spent perhaps in the Alaskan wilderness, gave rise to still another series - the third - of books Dana Stabelow has written which take on the vast infinity and adventures in fictional space, highlighting Star Svensdotter. Whatever she turns her literary mind to, Dana Stabelow is a find, with a rare talent for immersing you completely in both her characters and scenery.
