Multi-published in mystery, romance, and women's fiction, award-winning writer, Carolyn McSparren, lives on a farm outside of Memphis, Tennessee, drives a carriage and rides very large horses. She has lived in Germany, France, Italy, and too many US cities to count. Her books always include animals-from kittens to eagles to skunks. She has a master's degree and worked in academia before retiring to write and play with horses. She has been the lead editor of all six Malice in Memphis anthologies.
