New Orleans is the constant in Greg Herren's crime fiction. Born in 1961, Herren is an American writer and editor who works in mystery, young adult fiction and erotica, and who also publishes as Todd Gregory. The 2008 Lambda Literary Awards named Murder in the Rue Chartres best gay mystery; a year earlier, the anthology Love, Bourbon Street, co-edited with Paul J. Willis, won its own category. Three series carry the novels: Scotty Bradley, Chanse MacLeod and Killer Queen Mystery. 33 titles span 2002 to Hurricane Season Hustle in 2026.
