WHO IS F. DELLA NOTTE

FP pr photo thumbnail 300 by 400.jpg

                       F. Della Notte is an Italian-American, native-born New Yorker, and a Texas transplant,                                 living in Austin with her husband and Miss Millie, their quasi-psychic cat. Miss Millie's personality inspires many of the quirks of the lead cats in her stories, while Notte’s own cultural background weaves its way into all of her works.

​

​

At her computer or with pen and paper in hand, she crafts traditional and cozy mysteries and crime stories and delves into the paranormal. Her love of clever twists and hidden motives inspires her to create conundrums in ordinary lives that can turn extraordinary in a heartbeat. She is the author of the award-winning HOUSEKEEPER MYSTERY SERIES: I’m Going to Kill That Cat, Catwalk Dead – Murder in the rue de L’Histoire Theatre, The Church Murders, and Cat’s Prey. Each is a standalone and need not be read in order. Watch for Book four, Murder in the Cat’s Eye – A Roman Antiquities Murder Mystery, to be released in January 2027.

​

Her standalone creations include the mafia crime novel Blood Oath: A Mafia Tale of Deceit, Revenge, and Murder. Gritty and immersive, this story unfolds with sharp suspense and an atmospheric edge, inviting readers into a world of tense loyalties and dark secrets.

And in paranormal mystery, Time to Dance, Time to Die, written under the pseudonym Leonora, distinguishes her supernatural stories from her traditional mysteries, making it easier for readers to find the kind of adventures they enjoy most. Her paranormal mysteries introduce supernatural elements and mysterious forces, blending suspense with otherworldly intrigue and unexplained phenomena - and all of them in the backstage world of theater and ballet.

Away from the computer screen, paper, and pens, as in her writing, she creates recipes that meld all three cultures, and she makes them gluten-free. A cookbook may be in her future.
