Tansy Blackwood writes cozy mysteries from her small Midwestern town, where she gardens, cooks, and gathers inspiration at the farmers’ market. Her household includes two cats: Miso, a mischievous orange tabby, and Biscotti, a calico with plenty of attitude. Olive, a gentle Sheltie mix, keeps everyone in line. When she is not writing or digging in the dirt, Tansy is probably sipping tea, taking Olive on walks, or plotting her next fictional crime.
