After serving in the Air Force as a registered nurse, Lori Avocato decided to switch careers and now writes a humorous mystery series for Avon Books. She lives in New England and is a member of Mystery Writers of America, Romance Writers of America, The Author’s Guild and Sisters in Crime.

Lori believes that we all need a great entertaining read and humor always helps. Her Pauline Sokol Mystery Series, in which a burned out nurse becomes a medical insurance fraud investigator, is a perfect medium for Lori’s quick wit and amusing, believable characters. Lori’s first book of the series, A DOSE OF MURDER, has made the best-selling suspense/thriller list on Amazon and placed second in the Reviewers International Organizations award of excellent for debut novel. A new book in The Pauline Sokol Mystery Series will be out twice a year.
