Bess had to be pushed out the door to go away to college, but immediately developed wanderlust. These days she and her husband live in Orlando, Florida with their rescued garbage cat, Squeaker, and an endless stream of foster kittens. In between feedings, flea baths, and snuggles she writes cozy mysteries that are really love letters to all the places she’s lived.
