I was born in the Merrimack Valley of Massachusetts. The
best friends of my childhood were pointers named Stuffy and
Nonny. I had imaginary companions as well: a cat named
Thirsty Melirsty Medrinkable, a family of dogs, and parents
called Mommy and Daddy Suh. Thirsty and the dog family
slowly faded away. The Suhs, however, perished suddenly;
they ate fish guts and died. My career as a mystery writer
thus began in early childhood: I invented animals, and I
killed off fictional human beings.
Now, many decades later, I live just outside Boston. My
husband is a clinical psychologist with a private practice
in Cambridge. Our daughter, Jessica, who is also my
coauthor, lives in New Hampshire with her husband and their
young son. My husband and I have an Alaskan malamute, Django
(pronounced "Jango") and two Chartreux cats, Kansas City
(K.C.) and Shadow Celeste. The malamutes in my Holly Winter
books are composites, but the cats in Scratch the Surface,
Edith and Brigitte, are portraits of my own Chartreux.
