Carole Nelson Douglas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carole Nelson Douglas is a prolific American writer. She is best known for two popular mystery series, the Irene Adler mysteries and the Midnight Louie mystery series.
Douglas was a theater major in college. Later she worked as a television reporter in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. During her time there, she was assigned to work on a story about a local animal shelter, and featured one of the cats there, called Midnight Louie, in the reports. The cat did not survive. Each of the volumes of the Midnight Louie series includes the dedication "For the real and original Midnight Louie. Nine lives were not enough." She began writing fiction in the late 1970s and discovered that she preferred mixing genres. She later married Sam Douglas.[1]
