Meet some of the dedicated individuals who drive Michigan Sisters in Crime forward.



Alia Neaton
President
Alia Neaton (Alia Tawil) writes mysteries with a Golden Age flourish that feature a dress historian as amateur sleuth. A member of the Association of Dress Historians and the Costume Society of America, she is newly agented and working on her debut novel. For more, follow her on Instagram: @alia.tawil.
Elizabeth Haines
Vice President
Elizabeth Haines writes mysteries and the occasional ghost story. Her comedic thriller, RUN OF LUCK, was a finalist in the thriller category for the Rocky Mountain Gold Coast awards. Her cozy mystery, SHOOTS LIKE A GIRL, won the Hugh Holton Mentor Award for the best first fifty pages from the Midwest Chapter of the Mystery Writers of America.
Secretary
Linda Grischy (L.R. Haines) is the author of THE GOSSIP GARDEN MYSTERIES, a series of novelettes and novellas that fall somewhere between cozy and traditional. She loves whodunits and finds the challenge of the puzzle exciting, both as a reader and as crafter of story. Before delving into writing fiction, her background fell mostly in the business world. Now she spends her time exploring the art of writing.
