Mahrie G. Reid writes mystery/suspense books set in Canada. She grew up in Nova Scotia and Ontario. She read copiously and wrote her first novel at age eight. A minister’s daughter in the the fifties, she was encouraged to be a nurse, teacher or office worker so she’d have something to ‘fall back on’ if anything happened to her husband. She did what was expected and tried all three professions before becoming a Real Estate Appraiser, a newsletter editor, an adult educator, an office-organization consultant, a library manager and a marriage commissioner. She always continued to read and write, and to study novel writing skills. Her ongoing blog is found at www.mahriegreid.com Her published works include short stories, poems, trade articles, technical and research papers and newspaper features. Now she writes mystery novels and considers everything else as learning opportunities. Came Home Dead, (http://tinyurl.com/z53vjgh) and Came Home to a Killing, ( http://tinyurl.com/h9mm2jz) came out in 2014. Came Home too Late will be a summer of 2016 publication. Mahrie lives north of Calgary, Alberta, Canada with her hubby and a cat named Kotah. She’s active in writing groups, conferences and retreats and offers workshops, presentations and mentoring opportunities.
