Author and Playwright

Leta Serafim

Welcome to the website for writer, novelist, teacher, and playwright Leta Serafim!

 

In her early career as a writer, Leta worked as a journalist at the Los Angeles Times Washington Bureau before moving to Greece, where she taught art and illustrated books. Upon her return to the United States, she wrote feature stories for the Boston Globe before trying her hand at fiction, which resulted in her popular Greek Islands Mysteries series (now encompassing four novels, and with a new one in progress now). She has continued to write and publish ever since, and still continues to visit Greece each year.

Leta is the author of The Devil Takes Half, When the Devil’s Idle, To Look on Death No More, From the Devil’s Farm, and An Evil Most Welcome (Coffeetown Press), as well as the children's book Molly Saw a Bear

Today, Leta is currently at work on the latest novel in her Greek Islands Mysteries series,  traveling, and writing plays—including the much-anticipated new play Requiem, a two-act drama about revered Russian poet Anna Akhmatova. When she is not writing or traveling, Leta teaches creative writing in the Boston area.
