Lacey Dearie is the creator of the best-selling Leger - Cat Sleuth Mysteries Series about a talking Glaswegian cat detective. She loves observing cats and their idiosyncrasies and has a particular fondness for black cats with amber eyes or pretty calicos. She would own a house full of pets if her allergies allowed it.After being educated autonomously from the age of 15, she spent a decade working on a portfolio of freelance articles which were published in various British women's magazines, as well as running a successful blog from 2005 onwards. She took a break to study and start a family, then decided on her return to writing to focus on fiction. She is the author of chick-lit novel and Amazon UK Top 100 best-seller, The Tangled Web (currently available only in paperback from Createspace), chick-lit fairytale Cherry Lips, two nonsensical short stories about amorous foods and the soon to be released Candlelight Lane Mysteries which blend culinary cozies and magical realism. She is fiercely proud of her status as an "independent author", is a very vocal advocate of indie media and has, in the past, been a contributor to Canadian indie publication, The Silo.In her spare time she loves to travel and is a regular visitor to Cyprus - a place that has influenced almost every story she writes as much as her home country, Scotland. She has a personal blog dedicated to lingerie and fragrances, studies perfumery and is mildly obsessed with ska.Lacey loves to hear from her readers and can be contacted on Twitter as @laceydearie or on her Facebook page www.facebook.com/laceydearie.
