Meet Lane

Proud baby boomer and dog mom, Lane Stone, is originally from Atlanta, Georgia, but has lived in the DC area for over three decades. She now lives in Alexandria, Virginia and Lewes, Delaware with her husband, Larry Korb, and their Standard Schnauzers, Cordy and Emma. 

Her first series was the “Tiara Investigation Mysteries,” followed by several cozy series.  Her art thriller trilogy, “The Big Picture,” debuted in May 2022, with the publication of THE COLLECTOR. THE CANVAS launched in 2023.  DEAD MEN DON’T DECORATE was published in November 2022, written as Cordy Abbott. 

When not writing, Lane enjoys traveling. Antarctica and Oberammergau in 2022 and Panama Canal and Norway in 2023. Volunteering for worthy causes has always been a part of her life. She is the Virginia state president of the American Association of University Women, and the immediate past co-president of AAUW-Alexandria. In that capacity she was one of the originators of their human trafficking rescue program. (A portion of the proceeds from DEAD MEN DON’T DECORATE is donated to that project.)  She serves on the Board of Directors of the Delaware River & Bay Lighthouse Foundation. She is a graduate of Georgia State University and serves on the university’s political science department advisory board. She has a post-graduate certificate in Antiquities Theft and Art Crime. 

She is represented by Birch Literary. And is a member of SinC, MWA, and ITW.
