Mary Ellen Hughes


Biography

I'm a Milwaukee, Wisconsin native but have lived in Maryland since college. RESORT TO MURDER, originally published by Avalon, is set in Maryland, as are my Craft Corner mysteries, (published by Berkley Prime Crime) WREATH OF DECEPTION, STRING OF LIES, AND PAPER-THIN ALIBI.

I love tennis, both playing and watching, and enjoyed writing the scenes on the tennis courts in RESORT TO MURDER. My books are cozy mysteries and appropriate, I think, for all ages. I hope you'll enjoy them.
