Louise Gaylord - Bio

Louise Gaylord takes us where other mystery writers fear to tread, down the life path of a heroine who is more real than super-heroic, someone we adore rather than idolize.

Allie Armington may be able to shoot a gun, collect forensic evidence, and argue a case, but all those skills leave her essentially nowhere, constantly re-thinking and re-working her life, trying to find out who she is and what she is meant to be.

Even as Louise Gaylord continues to re-define her own life as a writer, her alter ego Allie Armington traces an arc through professions and relationships and murder, searching searching searching for that elusive thing called “truth”.

Louise Gaylord is renowned for plots that twist and turn with the coincidental chaos of reality, impeccably researched webs of modern culture and sub-culture and characters driven by fundamental needs and desires, headline worlds and eccentric characters that exist all around us, that we want to see and to know and to judge.

But Allie Armington is the vehicle of Louise Gaylord’s own truth, that every day is a new day, a re-evaluation of that which came before, a re-birth of the soul, an opportunity to communicate and to connect with others, here, there, and everywhere.
