A lifelong reader of mysteries, Slanderley is her first venture into the genre.Growing up in Southern New Jersey, Clarice attended Douglass College when it was still all-women. She received an M.A. from the University of Wisconsin, and completed her Ph.d. at Rutgers-the State University. Following three years as an educational researcher at Johns Hopkins University, she joined the faculty at Sonoma State University, where she spent her academic career. There she taught courses in history, sociology, and women's studies. She also spent a year in post-doctorate study at Brown University on African-American history.Living close to Jack London State Historic Park, she discovered the author and his times close to her fascination with the Gilded Age and Progressive Era.

It explores the persistence of ethnicity generations after migration and apparent assimilation.Stasz is a lifelong musician, active as a singer, percussionist, flautist, and song writer. For
