She currently lives in Waynesboro, VA, and works at the University of Virginia as a development associate..
She is the mother of two young women who are off following their dreams in the music business.
She has also been short-listed for the Virginia Library People\'s Choice Award.
Her books have been selected as finalists for an Agatha Award and a Daphne du Maurier Award and as a Top 10 Beach Reads by Woman\'s World.
About author(s): Maggie Blackburn is the author of the Cora Crafts mysteries and the Cumberland Creek mysteries under another pen name.
And if Summer can\'t find the villain, the town will be littered with a Shakespearean tragedy\'s worth of corpses--including her own.
But there are more suspects on Brigid\'s Island than are dreamt of in the Bard\'s darkest philosophizing.
Instead, Summer and her Aunt Agatha screw their courage to the sticking place and start sleuthing, with the help of Hildy\'s beloved book club.
What method is behind the madness? Was Hildy murdered? The police insist there\'s not enough evidence to launch a Murder investigation.
Clearly, something is rotten on Brigid\'s Island.
But as she drops by Beach Reads, Summer finds threatening notes addressed to Hildy: Sell the bookstore or die.
Returning to Brigid\'s Island, NC, for the funeral, Summer is impatient to settle the estate, sell her mom\'s embarrassingly romance-themed bookstore, Beach Reads, and go home.
But her English idyll ends when her mother, Hildy, shuffles off her mortal coil from an apparent heart attack.
Academic life at her Virginia university is a viper\'s pit, so Summer spends her summer in England, researching a scholarly paper that, with any luck, will finally get her published, impress the Dean, and save her job.
Summer Merriweather\'s career as a Shakespeare professor hangs by a bookbinder\'s thread.
