Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Una Tiers (nom de plume) is an avid reader, attorney and independent author in the Chicago area. Her early reading enthusiasm exhausted her grammar school library and she was introduced to the magnificence of the downtown Chicago Public Library. Years later, she had the honor to take writing classes with Harry Mark Petrakis, downing a bowl of cheddar chowder after class.

Over the years, creative writing took a backseat to drafting legal documents. After one particularly brutal day in court, Una wrote a story murdering the problem judge (on paper). Feeling better, she returned to work. Adding additional victims proved to be a stress reliever making Una smile. The story grew into Judge vs Nuts.

Una has several novels and novellas. I encourage you to take a chance. You will be entertained and surreptitiously educated to the law as it is in probate.

When she is not murdering people (on paper) Una has a scratch and sniff garden, including chocolate mint, dill, lavender, rosemary and cilantro. In 2018, she planted a Hyacinth bean and is waiting for the promises on the packet.

The next full length novel, Judge vs. Michigan, takes you on a dinner cruise from Navy Pier. Can you swim?

    5.0 out of 5 stars The comic whodunnit murder-mystery of UNA TIERS - DOROTHY DAISY: A FIONA GAVELLE MYSTERY [Charlotte M. Liebel Review]
    Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    A neighbor calls a slew of attorneys, by request of Miss Daisy, and mysterious events catch the novice Fiona Gavelle off-guard upon her response to prepare a Will. Una Tiers authors the unique tale: DOROTHY DAISY: A FIONA GAVELLE MYSTERY filled with diverse legal documents required to fulfill the quirky demands of Miss Daisy.

    The comic whodunnit murder-mystery engages the reader in hide and seek hideouts, ambulance responders, eccentric squabbles, family histories, sibling rivalries and deaths.

    A bunch of elderly do-gooders thwart efforts of Department of Aging service providers who try to remove Miss Daisy from her home and plant her elsewhere. The crafty old lady is not to be trusted. She hires Fiona one day then allows one or another of her neighbors to hide her and Fiona cannot get signatures. Miss Daisy appears timid and distrusting one minute then bold and demanding the next.

    What is Miss Daisy hiding? There is little she shares about herself. Even when asked about her siblings she would rather go off on a toot about the family’s daisies. Dorothy Daisy keeps her neighbors Emma and Martha baffled. Tenants living at her house haven’t a clue. Her doctor cannot help. ~ Counsel for Department of Aging, Fiona and the others appear in court.

    Fiona finds a friend in Andrew at the Law Library who provides assistance and a couple of beers. The next day the librarian sends her home with books she can actually understand. She is taking a crash-course on the guardianship and 3rd party transfer of real estate; a deed placing the property into the trust.

    Dorothy comes out of hiding for one day and craves a lunch you know might make you deathly ill. Well, no, the food does not kill her.

    Do not despair if you think this story is about to end. Until now, nobody has been allowed inside the Dorothy Daisy house. Meetings have always been held in her garden setting. Siblings who once existed are cloaked in shadows. What happened to them? When did they leave?

    Now ~ Get ready for the shocking surprise that greets audiences. Details of the extended family tend to get complicated. DOROTHY DAISY: A Fiona Gavelle Mystery by Una Tiers. Available at Amazon Kindle. This is a verified purchase.

    This is the first short I have read by this author. The characters lost me on the beginning, but I was able to put them where they belonged. Can be read while waiting in doctor's office.

    Have to say that Dorothy was a hoot. The story in itself was interesting and I wish it had been a full novel. Lots more to explore. Overall, it was kinda strange, but understandable in todays world. And lets not forget the neighbors. Talk about nosy and sticking their noses into other peoples business. One was helpful, the other seemed to want to take over. All in all, pretty laughable in a lot of parts, the ending however was kinda sad. And Miss Dorothy was pretty bossy! I liked that. I would recommend this book to everyone, even YA. Its that kind of book that would appeal to so many on different levels.

    Oh, Dorothy Daisy, what a fun book! Not only is it a good mystery but it also has plenty of humorous situations. I read it in one sitting since it is not very long and I was totally into the story.

    There were lots of twists and turns and I really had no clue what was going to happen. The author did a great job at making Fiona a very likable character. I look forward to reading more of her adventures!

    I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for an entertaining cozy mystery!

    Interesting story, I like the main character, Lawyer Fiona Gavelle. No matter what you think about the character, she does try. In Dorothy Daisy, she gets stuck in the middle of strange happenings in a strange family.

    I didn't know what to expect when I bought this book. What I got from it was a very pleasant read about a very human character. Fiona Gavalle is a wonderful, very human character which was refreshing. She makes mistakes but they are honest ones and never annoying to the reader. The mystery is very intriguing with a great payoff at the end. This is not a run-of-the-mill by the template mystery at all. Highly recommend.

    I have had this book on my kindle for ages and just never got around to it, honestly I'm not even sure why I first downloaded it. Today I clicked on it and I am glad to say, although it was a very quick read (less than an hour) it was a well written and often humorous little tale that had a few surprises for such a short read. Quite apparently the author does know the law, which of course prompted the surprises.
    A pleasant quick read I would certainly recommend.
