Hello My Happy People,


Award-winning author Sheila Lowe returns to Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt to discuss The Lies Between the Lines, the tenth installment in her long-running Claudia Rose mystery series.


For longtime listeners, Sheila will be a familiar voice. She previously joined us in Season 3, Episode 132 (link below), where we discussed her powerful memoir, Growing From the Ashes. In that conversation, we explored her writing journey, her personal experiences, and the events that shaped both her life and her career.


This time, however, our focus is on fiction.


Sheila is a Certified Forensic Document Examiner and the current president of the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation. For decades, she has worked with handwriting, questioned documents, and legal cases where tiny details can make an enormous difference. That real-world expertise has become the foundation of one of mystery fiction's most unique and authentic series.


The Claudia Rose mysteries follow forensic handwriting expert Claudia Rose as she becomes involved in dangerous investigations where documents, handwriting, and hidden clues often reveal the truth. One of the things I appreciate most about these books is that readers can jump in almost anywhere in the series and quickly feel at home with the characters and the story.


With the release of The Lies Between the Lines, readers now have ten Claudia Rose mysteries to enjoy, each bringing together suspense, mystery, and Sheila's professional expertise in a way few authors can match.



The graphic above provides a quick look at Sheila's extensive body of work, including the Claudia Rose mysteries, the Beyond the Veil mysteries, her memoir, and her nonfiction books on handwriting analysis. Click the graphic to visit Sheila's website and explore her complete catalog.


During our conversation, we discussed the new book, the Claudia Rose series, handwriting analysis, the connection between real-world forensic work and fiction, and the writing life itself. As always, Sheila brought both expertise and warmth to the discussion, making this another memorable visit to Book Banter.


If you enjoy mystery fiction, forensic science, or simply learning from someone who is a true expert in her field, this is an episode you won't want to miss.


And while you're there, be sure to pick up a copy of The Lies Between the Lines, available now wherever books are sold and leave a review somewhere when you can.


You can find links to Sheila's books, website, and social media below. You'll also find a direct link to her previous appearance on Book Banter in Season 3, Episode 132, where we discussed her memoir, Growing From the Ashes.
