About

Montana Carr is a New Yorker with a flair for weaving dark, noir murder mysteries set in the gritty backdrop of Falls City. As the author of Beyond the Scent of Sugar: A Memoir by Billie Rivers, Echoes in Falls City, Deception in Falls City, The Dark Corners of Falls City, and Secrets of Falls City, Montana brings a unique blend of queerness, toughness, eroticism and vulnerability to her characters. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Montana writes from the shadows of its dark corners and the warmth of its bustling coffee shops. Her characters reflect a range of emotions and experiences, often mirroring her own journey of being queer, resilient, sweet, and occasionally broken in ways distinct from her fictional creations. Despite not being on any bestseller lists or having her works translated into other languages, Montana’s writing resonates with readers who appreciate raw, authentic storytelling. She found her beloved cat in the trash, a testament to her ability to find and nurture beauty in unexpected places. Montana may not have worked with famous authors, but her distinctive voice and compelling narratives make her a standout in the world of noir fiction. Plus, she looks damn good in a leather jacket.
