Author of the critically acclaimed Marjorie McClelland Mysteries, Amy Patricia Meade is a native of Long Island, NY where she earned Bachelor’s Degrees in both English and Business. Currently a full-time resident of Vermont, Amy spends the long New England winters writing mysteries with a humorous or historical bent. The first offering in her latest series with Midnight Ink Books, “Well-Offed in Vermont,” will be released this November. And her debut series with Kensington Books will be launched in May 2012 with “Don’t Die Under the Apple Tree: A Rosie the Riveter Mystery.”
