P.J.  Parrish
About Books (10) Reviews (4)
 

P.J. Parrish is actually two sisters--Kristy Montee and Kelly Nichols--who decided to pool their life-long loves of writing by teaming up in 1995 to create the character of Louis Kincaid. Their collaboration is unique in that the sisters live in separate states (Kelly in Mississippi, Kristy in Florida), which means hefty phone bills and a reliance on AOL.

Montee has been a dance critic and a newspaper editor at the Sun-Sentinel in Ft. Lauderdale. Nichols has been in the casino business, first as a blackjack dealer, and then as a personnel manager.

The Louis Kincaid series has been a finalist for a Shamus Award for four straight years.
