E. Feldman
The idea for the Dora Ellison
Mystery Series came to me after reading many mystery thrillers written
by others. I very much appreciate it when cruel people, whether they are the
murderers in a book or not, get what's coming to them. The Jack Reacher
series by Lee Child are great examples. Reacher encounters characters who are
cruel, and they nearly always get what's coming to them. Wouldn't it be nice if
life were like that?
Several of my Dora
books include story elements that are drawn from current news headlines, and
book 6, A Divisive Storm, which is to be the finale of the series, is one of
these. When I read about some of the ideas people have - about other people,
social or religious groups, or about those who might be different in any number
of ways from themselves - I am often compelled to write about these issues.
Like most
Americans, I believe in the equality of our citizens, and so when I read about
bigotry and the sort of hatred we so often see in our headlines, and when I see
that such hatred is aimed at people with whom the haters are not even
acquainted but at strangers, at whole groups of people, I feel compelled to
write about the issue, as I feel compelled to write about many issues. Of course, I am a mystery-thriller author, and so I craft
mystery-thrillers, which are for me puzzles where I first figure out who was
killed and by whom, and then I craft the maze of red herrings and misdirections
that will make reading the book fun for readers of my genres. At least that is
my hope! My Dora books have as their main character Dora Ellison, who
is the product of a violent childhood - a woman with a deep well of rage that
is forever seeking an outlet. And she generally finds one - usually someone or
a few people in need of her rage - who will benefit from being taught a lesson.
My hope is that my readers find some satisfaction in these conflicts. Dora has
a strong moral center and a strong sense of justice.
Dora's sidekick
in books two through six is Missy Winters, a librarian who is of South Asian
descent. To say that Missy is the brains and Dora the brawn would be
simplistic. Dora is a gifted, natural martial arts savant, but she is also
smart and has a great nose for solving crimes. Missy is more book smart. When
anyone marvels that she has deduced some aspect of a crime, she is quick to
point out, "Hey, I'm a librarian!" I, too, am a librarian, though I
do not work at a library. My master's degree is in library and information
science, so I have a soft spot for librarians. I am also sad to see that
librarians and libraries are becoming things of the past, not least because of
the current politically driven penchant for banning books, something I am
vehemently against. If one does not want one's child reading a book - one can
deal with that within the family, not by banning the book.
My hope is that
readers will find the murder of Ray Drucker and the events that follow, along
with Dora, Missy and their supporting cast fun and engaging. My hope is that
they will read the previous Dora Ellison books and keep an eye out for future
mysteries and my other novels!
