ⓘ About Ellen Mansoor Collier

(Bio written by Ellen – thanks so much Ellen!) Before Las Vegas, Galveston, Texas was called the “Sin City of the Southwest.” Real-life rival gangs fight over booze and bars during Prohibition in this soft-boiled Jazz Age mystery series. Inspired by actual events, places, and people, Collier’s series recreates Galveston’s gangster past during the 1920s, when bankers rubbed elbows with bootleggers and dirty cops made shady deals with gang leaders. Growing up in Houston, Ellen Mansoor Collier spent summers visiting Galveston with family and friends for parties, dinners, dates, formals—she and her husband Gary even stayed at the Hotel Galvez on their honeymoon.
