about this author
Kelli Stanley likes fog, which is a good thing because she lives in San Francisco. Her first novel, NOX DORMIENDA (A Long Night for Sleeping), won the Bruce Alexander Memorial Historical Mystery Award (March, 2009) has been nominated for a Macavity Award (Sue Feder Memorial Historical Mystery, May, 2009) and was a Writer's Digest Notable Debut (July/August, 2008).
NOX DORMIENDA marks the first of a new series and a new genre: Roman Noir. The City and County of San Francisco awarded Kelli a Certificate of Honor for her creation of the new subgenre, which combines a classic noir style with the rich texture of the ancient past.

description:
Arcturus.
It’s the name of the brightest star in a familiar constellation. It’s also the name of a man who could use a little light in the dark, rainy streets of Londinium.
Nox Dormienda is his world. He lets us in the door. And then he tells us what he thinks about it.
Consider this an introduction. You’ll get to know him better.
