Sue Grafton

Sue Grafton, a celebrated author, succeeded greatly as the #1 New York Times bestselling author. Her claim to fame was the creation of the popular “alphabet series.” Which revolved around the character of private investigator Kinsey Millhone in the fictional setting of Santa Teresa. California. Before the immense success of this series. Grafton delved into the world of screenwriting for television movies. Among her earlier works were novels such as Keziah Dane (1967) and The Lolly-Madonna War (1969). Although these are currently out of print. Additionally, in the book Kinsey and Me. Grafton provided readers with stories that shed light on Kinsey’s origins and her personal history.

Novels to Movies

Despite the potential for her novels to be adapted into movies or TV shows, Grafton strongly disliked such adaptations. Her family has made it clear that she had adamantly opposed the idea of having a ghostwriter continue her work posthumously. In a show of respect for Grafton’s wishes, her family decided to conclude the alphabet series with the letter “Y”. This decision was made to honor her legacy and maintain the integrity of her body of work.

 

Grafton’s contributions to the literary world were widely recognized and celebrated during her lifetime. She was honored with the title of Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America and received prestigious accolades such as the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Private Eye Writers of America, the Ross Macdonald Literary Award, and three Shamus Awards, among others. Apart from her professional achievements, Grafton was a devoted mother to three children from previous marriages and a loving grandmother to several grandchildren, including a granddaughter named Kinsey. She shared her life with her husband in both Montecito, California, and Louisville, Kentucky, leaving behind a lasting impact on the world of literature.
