About the Author

Rosemary is an award-winning writer of personal essays that have appeared in the Washington Post, Baltimore Sun, Chess Life, Generations, and elsewhere. As a retired career editor, she's a long-time member of the Society of Professional Journalists and was a Silver Owl (twenty-five-year member) of the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Rosemary grew up in Milwaukee and graduated from Smith College. In 2013, she and Larry moved to Honolulu, Hawaii, where they cherish time with their daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren. When not dreaming up outrageous ideas for her essays, she and Larry wallow in crimes and clues as coauthors of more than a dozen mystery and suspense novels and story collections. They're members of Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime (Larry's a Mister), and Hawaii Fiction Writers. Visit them at www.magicile.com.
