A.J. Schaar is an acclaimed comedic playwright and internationally recommended author of fantasy-fiction. Plays include: KILL SOCRATES, Three Sisters (a definitive new version of Chekhov's vaudeville), Twelfth Night of The Living Dead (a massacre, not a cut, of Shakespeare's exquisite comedy), OGGETTO METALLICO, The Triumph of Moriarty (the finest bit of cut and parry work from the world of Doyle's detective), and WE The PYRATES. The Storybook Coroner is Schaar's debut novel, almost immediately recommended as an "Indie Book We Love" and "most popular" work of fantasy-fiction. Her second book, American Monkeys, is the world's first "reader's edition" of the Scopes "Monkey Trial" court transcripts.
