As the founder, editor, and publisher of Lystra Books (an eclectic and growing publisher, based in Chapel Hill, NC), Gaskin has stewarded more than twenty books into publication. Add to that resume her editing byline for Carolina Crimes: 21 Tales of Need, Greed, and Dirty Deeds, a terrific anthology of stories set in North Carolina and South Carolina, with an introduction by Jeffery Deaver, published in 2017 by Down & Out Books.

It's the perfect place for a mystery/suspense writer to live.
