Ep 146: Reclaiming Women’s History with Page-Turning Mysteries with Author Kelly Oliver

Ever wondered how a philosophy professor becomes a mystery writer?   Meet Dr. Kelly Oliver, a recently retired philosophy professor turned mystery author. Kelly shares her unique journey from academia to fiction, explaining how her background in philosophy—especially her work on women's issues and justice—informs her novels.   She discusses her two main series: the Jessica James mysteries, inspired by her own grad school experiences and tackling serious social issues with humor, and the Fiona Figg historical mystery series, which spotlights real women from history who have been overlooked or marginalized.   Kelly also shares some behind-the-scenes tidbits from her latest series, The Detection Club, and stories about Agatha Christie’s real-life adventures.     CLICK HERE to sign up for the BOOK CLUB!   CLICK HERE to check out the SHOW NOTES for this episode!   Are you an author who would like to join me for a conversation on the podcast?
