  <about><![CDATA[The dark drama of Randy Susan Meyer’s debut novel, THE MURDERER&quot;S DAUGHTERS, is informed by her years of work with batterers, domestic violence victims, and at-risk youth impacted by family violence. 

Randy Susan Meyers’ short stories have been published in the Fog City Review, Perigee: Publication for the Arts, and the Grub Street Free Press. 

In Brooklyn, where Randy was born and raised, her local library was close enough to visit daily and she walked there from the time she figured out the route. In many ways, she was raised by books, each adding to her sense of who she could be in this world. Some marked her for horror. Reading IN COLD BLOOD at too tender an age assured that she’d never stay alone in a country house. Others, like HEIDI by Johanna Spyri made her worship her grandfather even more.

Some taught her faith in the future.	
 
A TREE GROWS IN BROOLYN by Betty Smith was the only bible Randy ever owned, her personal talisman of hopefulness. Each time she read it, she was struck anew by how this author knew so much and dared to write it.

Randy now lives in Boston with her husband and is the mother of two grown daughters. She teaches writing seminars at the Grub Street Writers’ Center in Boston.
