Hi! I'm a former college instructor, with a Ph.D. in 19th century literature. These days, I'm applying my background and interests to historical mystery writing and created a female professor as amateur sleuth. I've been a professor but never a detective, so I'm living vicariously. (Although I never taught college classes in a bustle and long skirts, either. Thankfully!) My Concordia Wells mystery series is set in a fictitious 1890s women's college in Hartford, CT. The first two books in the series, Dangerous and Unseemly and Unseemly Pursuits, were released in 2013. Just released is the third book of Concordia Wells' adventures, Unseemly Ambition. The lady professor is back on the case!I'm also a mom to three boys and enjoy reading, baking, gardening, and backyard bird-watching. In my spare time...Thanks for stopping by!
