I'm an avid reader, lifelong mystery lover, and debut author.

Growing up, I spent countless hours watching Murder, She Wrote with my grandma and read any mystery series I could get my hands on from Cam Janesn to The Boxcar Children.

Fast forward to 2020. I was living alone in a 200-square-foot studio apartment during the pandemic. I was living hours away from my nearest family. Unable to go anywhere, I found a joyful respite in cozy mystery novels, allowing myself to be transported to coffeeshops, bookstores, and other cozy locations I couldn't visit in person. I made friends with the amateur sleuths and quirky cast of characters in the long-running series I was devouring.

Louise Marley

Most of my stories are set in small villages filled with quirky characters. These are partly inspired by the places I’ve lived in over the years, although the characters are straight out of my imagination! I currently live in Wales, close to a famous library and two ruined castles. My husband thinks we moved here by accident.

My first published novel was Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, which was a finalist in Poolbeg’s Write a Bestseller competition. As well as nine novels, I’ve written short stories for women’s magazines such as Take a Break and My Weekly. Before becoming a full-time writer, I worked as an administrative officer for the police.

She started her radio career as a teenage DJ at a small station in her hometown of Brookville, Pennsylvania, and despite a brief flirtation with advanced study in history before taking her B.A. at the University of Pittsburgh (her mother will never forgive her for turning down an assistantship at William and Mary), worked her way up through newsrooms in Pittsburgh, Vermont and Connecticut, to New York. But she never wore her Phi Beta Kappa key again after her first day at KDKA, when she accidentally hung up on a U.S. Senator.
