Rob Osler’s debut novel, Devil’s Chew Toy, features a gay and lesbian amateur sleuth in a hilariously light-hearted mystery adventure set in present-day Seattle. His short story, Analogue, published in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, won the Mystery Writers of America Robert L Fish Award as part of the 2022 Annual Edgar Awards. Rob’s second short story, also to be published in Ellery Queen in 2023 features a cross-dressing amateur sleuth, named Perry Winkle. Rob lives in California with his long-time partner and a tall gray cat.
