n Margot and Max's latest adventure, THE FAT LADY SINGS, things aren¿t what they appear to be. But since they work in the film world of make-believe, when are things ever clear-cut and unambiguous? In THE FAT LADY SINGS, the couple is caught up in a lethal scheme of connivance, complicity, and murder perpetrated behind the heavy velvet curtains of a reparatory company determined to win an international prize. Heads roll as egos, reputations, and aspirations clash against the dulcet harmonies and satiric comments of a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. Author Kit Sloane¿s offbeat stories chronicle the intricacies of Hollywood filmmaking from the point of view of her protagonist, feature film editor Margot O'Banion and her significant other, director Max Skull. The first fiction editor of FUTURES Mystery Magazine, Kit is a longtime member of Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America, and Mystery Women of the UK. She was named one of Mills College¿s Literary Women for 2007. Kit and her professor husband live on a hilltop horse ranch in Northern California's sublime Lake County wine country.
