Award-winning authorKate Carlisle worked in television for many years before turning to writing. Inspired by the northern seaside towns of her native California, where Victorian mansions grace the craggy cliffs and historic lighthouses warn fishermen and smugglers alike, Kate was drawn to create the New York Times bestselling Fixer-Upper Mysteries ( Crowned and Moldering, This Old Homicide ) featuring small-town girl Shannon Hammer, a building contractor specializing in home restoration. Kate also writes the New York Times bestselling Bibliophile Mysteries ( Ripped from the Pages, The Book Stops Here ) featuring Brooklyn Wainwright.
