Katy Munger, who has also written under the names Gallagher Gray and Chaz McGee, is an American writer known for writing the Casey Jones and Hubbert & Lil series. She is a former reviewer for the Washington Post.

Personal life

Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, she soon moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, growing up with her five brothers and sisters. She describes herself as a "southern belle" and says that Casey Jones was influenced by her own character.[2]

Tart Noir

Munger's genre of writing is described as Tart Noir, which is a subsection of crime fiction created in part by Munger.[3] In publicizing the genre, she has teamed up with the three other creators and writers, Sparkle Hayter, Laura Lippman, and Lauren Henderson, for book signings and other venues.[4] It is believed that the authors first met and befriended each other by "getting drunk together at writers conferences".[5] Not long afterwards, the four worked together in creating and promoting their new website, titled Tartcity.com.[6][7] Munger and a collection of 19 other Tart Noir writers also came together to write an anthology of original stories in 2002.[8]

Career

Munger began her writing career by publishing under a name other than her own, namely Gallagher Gray. Under this pseudonym, she wrote four books in the Hubbert & Lil series in the 1990s.[9][10][11] During the late '90s into the early 2000s, Munger wrote the Casey Jones series. However, there was then a long break in her output until she began a new series in 2009, the Dead Detective series, under a new pseudonym, Chaz McGee. She also obtained a new publisher for the series.[12]
