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-faceโbut 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 cornerโor up a dark alley or a down slippery cobblestoned path. She thinks thereโs nothing better than a good mystery (being an excellent armchair detective herself), unless itโs throwing a ghost or two into the mix just to โlivenโ things up. Donโt worry, though. Ghosts may be difficult to keep in line, but theyโre harmlessโmostly. And it turns out theyโre 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 chocolateโnot necessarily in that order. Find her at gwengardner.com.
