Mindy Quigley is the author of two cozy mystery series: the Deep Dish Mysteries (St. Martin's Press) and the Mount Moriah Mysteries.

Her work has been featured in Parade and Woman's World. Her non-writing career has been stranger than fiction, taking her from the US to the UK, where she worked as the personal assistant to the scientist who cloned Dolly the sheep, and as project manager for a research clinic founded by the author J.K. Rowling.

She lives in Virginia, with her Civil War history professor husband and their children.

Short answer--everywhere!

Butterball, the loveable cat in my books is based on my work at the Vet School at Virginia Tech, and some of the hilarious chonky cats I met there. The plot of my third book (PUBLIC ANCHOVY #1, which will be out on 12/26/23) is based in part on a story I heard on the radio. The mobster history of Geneva Bay is drawn from the real history of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.(less)

Canal boat documentaries and rabies infections have more in common than you might think

For about a decade, I’ve suffered from persistent, sometimes-debilitating insomnia. After many years of strategies, drugs, tinctures, doctors, therapists, etc., I have found a method that (mostly) works to help me sleep. Each night, I’ll read for a bit, then recline on my couch, cuddle up with my dog, put a boring British docuseries on extremely low volume in an otherwise dark room, and watch it u

What a unique book! Kung fu, philosophy, opium dens, and a fresh spin on the Holmes and Watson duo. The writing is stellar and the action is non-stop. There are so many fun little historical forays folded into the main plot. I can't remember ever rea ...more
The Murder of Mr. Ma by John Shen Yen Nee
"A China-tinged take on Holmes & Watson (in the form of our major characters) with a lot kung fu fighting.

This book is compulsively readable - I read it in less than a day because the pages were so easy to turn - but it is a strange amalgamation of it" Read more of this review »
The Murder of Mr. Ma by John Shen Yen Nee
"The Murder of Mr. Ma by John Shen Yen Nee and S.J. Rozan was a mixture of history, mystery, and cozy vibes all wrapped up in kung fu and some nonstop action. I think this would translate a lot better for me as a movie or TV series, and it was a littl" Read more of this review »
