Ms. Adams has held many jobs including that of caterer, retail clerk, car salesperson, teacher, tutor, and tech writer, all the while penning poems, children's books, and novels. She now writes full-time from her home in Virginia, which she shares with her husband, two trolls, and three keyboard-hogging felines. Her series from Berkley Prime Crime include The Books By the Bay Mysteries, The Charmed Pie Shoppe Mysteries, and The Book Retreat Mysteries. Her Indie series, available as ebooks only, include The Supper Club Series, The Hope Street Series, and The Molly Appleby Collectible Series.
