Gwen Gardner writes clean, cozy, lighthearted mysteries with a strong ghostly element. Since ghosts feature prominently in her books, she has a secret desire to meet one face-to-faceâbut will run screaming for the hills if she ever does. Her lifelong love of books and reading transitioned naturally into a love of writing, where adventure can be found around every cornerâor up a dark alley or a down slippery cobblestoned path. She thinks thereâs nothing better than a good mystery (being an excellent armchair detective herself), unless itâs throwing a ghost or two into the mix just to âlivenâ things up. Donât worry, though. Ghosts may be difficult to keep in line, but theyâre harmlessâmostly. And it turns out theyâre pretty good sleuths too. Gwen adores travel and experiencing the cultures and foods of different countries. She is always up for an adventure and anything involving chocolateânot necessarily in that order. Find her at gwengardner.com.
