"The Cold Kid Case: A Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery" is a #1 Amazon New Release, a Firebird Book Award 1st Place Cozy Mystery Winner, Literary Titan Gold Book Award Winner, Author Academy Top 10 Mystery Winner, and Critters Readers Poll Top 10 Finisher for both Best Mystery and Best Young Adult Books. It's a cozy noir mystery with a sense of humor set in gritty Depression-era 1930s Los Angeles. Hollywood, movie stars, mobsters, and, of course, murder.

Dozens of my short stories have appeared in print anthologies and webzines, such as the U.K.'s acclaimed "Whispers of Wickedness." Mystery and Horror LLC has selected my stories for multiple print anthologies, including FAPA President's Book Award Silver Medalist "History and Mystery Oh My!" I am a regular contributor to the "Strangely Funny" humorous horror short story series. Ellen Datlow selected my short story "Lion Friend" as a Best Horror of the Year Honorable Mention after it appeared in "Cern Zoo," a British Fantasy Society nominee for best anthology, part of DF Lewis' award winning "Nemonymous" anthology series. "TV Monster" is my print children's book I wrote and illustrated.

My scripts, novel manuscripts, and short fiction have placed in numerous competitions, including the Writers Digest Screenplay Competition and the Shriekfast Film Festival.

I am a member of Sisters in Crime, SCBWI: Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, IWOSC: Independent Writers of Southern California, and W&PN: Writers and Publishers Network.

Los Angeles is where I write. Discover more at RosalindBarden.com.
