Carolyn J. Lawes is a history professor at Old Dominion University, who, in her spare time, enjoyed writing the Art Lovers’ Mystery novels with her sister, Juliet Blackwell, under the nom de plume of Hailey Lind. She has a Ph.D. in history from the University of California at Davis, which is very helpful in her day job but was largely unhelpful when it came to plotting mysteries. She enjoys contributing historical tidbits and insights to Juliet Blackwell’s various novels and is a brainstormer of the first order.
