T. Dawn Richard, author of The May List Mystery Series, hails from Spokane, Washington. Her first book, Death for Dessert, was published in 2003,followed by Digging up Otis, and A Wrinkle in Crime . This year she completed her fourth book in the series, Par for the Corpse . Kirkus Reviews called her "A kind of geriatric Janet Evanovich" because of her quirky senior citizen characters. Her mysteries are humorous, but her main character, amateur sleuth May List, solves serious crimes in her own, bumbling way. Dawn has teamed up with police officers as a means of gathering accurate data for her novels. She also recently finished two screenplays.
