Barbara Early earned an engineering degree, but after four years of doing nothing but math, developed a sudden allergy to the subject and decided that murdering fictional people was more fun. She lives in her native Western New York State where she enjoys cooking, crafts, classic movies, campy seventies television, board games, and posting pictures of her granddaughter and four cats on Facebook. She writes the Vintage Toyshop Mysteries and the Bridal Bouquet Shop Mysteries (as Beverly Allen).
