Libby Fischer Hellmann
Libby Fischer Hellmann has been writing all her life.
She turned to fiction eight years ago. Her amateur sleuth
series, featuring Chicago single mom and video producer
Ellie Foreman made its debut in 2002 with An Eye for
Murder. It was followed with A Picture of Guilt and An
Image of Death. An Eye for Murder was nominated for an
Anthony Award for Best First in 2003. It also won the
Readers’ Choice Best First Award a the Love is Murder
Mystery Conference the same year. Libby has published numerous short stories in both
American and British publications. Three new short stories
will be released in the coming year: A Berlin Story, in the
MWA “Show Business is Murder” anthology, “Common Scents”
(Blondes in Trouble anthology) and “House Rules”, in the
IACW Las Vegas anthology edited by Michael Connelly. When she’s not writing fiction, Libby writes
and produces videos. She also coaches individuals and
groups in presentation skills, speech delivery, and media
interviews. (Fischer Hellmann Communications.) A transplant
from the East Coast (she was born and raised in Washington,
D.C.), she’s been living in the Chicago area twenty-
five years with her family and a Beagle, shamelessly named
Shiloh. She is currently Vice-President of the Midwest Chapter
of MWA and serves on the national board of directors of
Sisters In Crime. She is also a founding member of “Sex, Lies, and
Videotape” and can often be found haunting bookstores,
conferences, and events with Deborah Donnelly and Roberta
Isleib.
