Priamos's writing has been featured in the New
York Times Magazine, the Los
Angeles Times Magazine, and the Washington
Post Magazine. An excerpt of her memoir appeared in ZYZZYVA.
She contributed to the anthology Naming
the World: And Other Exercises for the Creative Writer (Random House,
2008). Priamos teaches English and Creative Writing at
CSU San Bernardino.
Her book, The Shyster's Daughter:
A Memoir (Etruscan
Press, 2012), is a story of love, crime, and the unbreakable
bond between father and daughter. Priamos’s father,
a high-profile Greek defense attorney, died under mysterious
circumstances. When she began to investigate, she discovered
a side to him that wreaked havoc with her family’s
cherished image of him as a hard-working, honest man.
Her findings eventually led to a stunning revelation
on how we choose to remember family.
