Mystery writing lets Peg indulge her curiosity under the guise of “work” (aka research). She put pen to paper at age seven when she wrote plays and forced her cousins to perform them at Christmas dinner. She switched to mysteries when she discovered the perfect hiding place for a body down the street from her house.

A former Jersey girl, Peg now resides in Michigan. She is the author of the Open Book Series (written as Margaret Loudon), the Murder, She Reported series, the Cranberry Cove Series, the Farmer’s Daughter series, the Gourmet De-Lite series, the Lucille series, and the Sweet Nothings Lingerie series (wr ...more

Birth of a Cozy Mystery - Murder in the Margins

I don’t know about you, but I’m somewhat fascinated by the royal family—particularly the younger generation. Not in an obsessive must-read-everything-about-them kind of way but I enjoy seeing pictures of Kate in her evening gowns and Meghan holding little Archie. I read about them while waiting in line at the grocery store where you can peruse the tabloids to pass the time.
