Raised in a sleepy town in the Berkshires, Linda Reilly has spent the bulk of her career in the field of real estate closings and title examination. It wasn't until 1995 that her first short mystery, "Out of Luck," was accepted for publication by Woman's World Magazine. Since then she's had more than forty short stories published, including a sprinkling of romances. She is also the author of Some Enchanted Murder, and the Deep Fried Mystery series featuring fry cook Talia Marby. A member of Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America, and Cat Writers' Association, Linda lives in New Hampshire with her husband, who affectionately calls her "Nose-in-a-book."
