The Scandalous, Shocking Secret Life of J.M. Redmann . . . .
J.M. (Jean Marie) Redmann grew up in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, a small town on the Gulf of Mexico. At eighteen, determined to escape the South, she headed north to attend Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York.
The day after receiving her degree in drama, Redmann boarded a train for New York City. Determined not to become just another rich yuppie, she embarked on a career in theatrical lighting. Riches never once threatened her doorstep. To this day, they remain far afield. Her theatrical work even included a stint as lighting director of the New York Playboy Club. (No, she never wore a bunny costume). In 1988, while living in New York City, she began writing the book that became Death by the Riverside.
Due to circumstances beyond her control (following a partner who had decided to go to law school) Redmann moved to the City That Care Forgot, New Orleans. She is the first to admit that this isn’t exactly what she had planned. When pressed, she will admit that few things are as she had planned.
Redmann currently works as the HIV Counseling and Testing Coordinator at NO/AIDS Task Force, the largest AIDS service organization in Louisiana. She also presents workshops on Safer Sex for Lesbians, which gives her a great excuse to watch dirty videos, talk about sex and ask questions such as, "What do you do with that pink thing?" during a normal work day.
Redmann’s most recent Micky Knight adventure, The Intersection of Law and Desire, was published by W.W. Norton in July of 1995. The paperback edition was published in 1997 by Avon. The Intersection of Law and Desire won a 1995 Lambda Literary Award. Other books in the series include, Death by the Riverside, and Deaths of Jocasta. Redmann has just completed writing the fourth Micky Knight book, which is due out in about a year.
Presently, J.M. Redmann lives, works and frolics in that city built on a swamp—New Orleans.
So there you have it...
