Amelia Pine grew up on a healthy diet of Nancy Drew, Agatha Christie, and Jessica Fletcher. Today, she writes both contemporary and historical cozy mysteries that blend twisty puzzles with comforting atmospheres, memorable characters, and a touch of wit. Whether set in seaside California or Belle Époque Paris, her stories place cozies firmly in the present cultural imagination, cellphones, social media, and globalization included, while still honoring the genre’s classic appeal. She and her family make their home on the sunny coast of San Diego.
