My Random Death

Santa Barbara author Myra Mossman, a federal criminal appeals attorney, has debuted her first book, My Random Death: A Memoir, a riveting true crime story with courage triumphing over evil, after rewriting it three times over the past 21 years.

Mossman, who has appeared before the U.S. Supreme Court, took writing courses at City College with Shelly Lowenkopf to hone her skills. She is also an archival hand bookbinder.

She is now working on her second book Street Tarot, given she also teaches tarot and the Kebbalah, and hopes to complete it within 18 months, she revealed at a bijou bash at Tecolte, the lively literary lair in the upper village.
