Albert Tucher is the creator of suburban prostitute Diana Andrews, who has appeared in more than eighty hardboiled short stories in venues including the anthology "The Best American Mystery Stories 2010." Her first longer case, the novella "The Same Mistake Twice," was published in 2013. Albert Tucher recently began writing about his favorite place on earth, the rainforest of the Big Island of Hawaii, in "The Place of Refuge" (2017), "The Hollow Vessel" (2018), and the forthcoming "The Honorary Jersey Girl." (It's complicated. You'll have to read the book when it comes out next year.)
