Sue Coletta writes crime fiction and non-fiction from her base in New England. Her fiction splits between two series: the Grafton County series, which follows law enforcement in a rural New Hampshire setting, and The Mayhem series, which takes a darker, more suspenseful approach to its crimes.

On the non-fiction side, Coletta has written practical guides for other crime fiction writers, drawing on the research she does for her own novels. 60 Ways To Murder Your Characters and Crime Writer’s Research (both 2016) are aimed at authors looking for technical accuracy in their crime scenes. Pretty Evil New England (2020) moves into true crime territory, profiling female killers from the region.

Coletta is also known in the crime writing community for her blog and her involvement with organizations like Sisters in Crime. Her work combines genre fiction with a genuine interest in forensic detail and criminal psychology.
