F*ck. I just saw that she died last month; I was hoping for more Frevisse books. I hadn't really gotten into her Player Joliffe series...:

Margaret Frazer was the pen name of Gail Lynn Frazer (1946-2013), a historical novelist known for more than twenty mystery novels and a variety of short stories. The pen name was originally shared by Gail Frazer and Mary Monica Pulver Kuhfeld in their collaboration on The Novice's Tale, the first of the Sister Frevisse books featuring the Benedictine nun Dame Frevisse. Their collaboration came to an end with The Murderer's Tale, the sixth book in the series. Starting with the Edgar Award-nominated The Prioress' Tale, the Margaret Frazer pen name was used exclusively by Gail Frazer. Frazer also wrote the Player Joliffe mysteries, starring the medieval actor Joliffe.

Gail Frazer grew up in Illinois and lived and worked in Elk River, Minnesota. She died February 4, 2013 of breast cancer.
