Deborah Benjamin started writing at a young age to entertain herself while watching football with her father. By age twelve she branched out and wrote a play about the return of a soldier from WWII starring the neighborhood children. Unaware of copy machines, she meticulously typed out seven copies of the play for the cast of grade schoolers. The play was well received and Deborah rested on her laurels for many decades before deciding to write a cozy humorous mystery series based on a group of women of a certain age. THE DEATH OF PERRY MANY PAWS was published in 2013. THE DEATH OF A HOT FLASHER will be published in 2017 quickly followed by MIDLIFE CORPSES. When not writing, Deborah enjoys reading mysteries, knitting, drawing villages and populating them with fictional people and coloring.

Barbara Early (president) earned an engineering degree, but after four years of doing nothing but math, developed a sudden allergy to the subject and decided to choose another occupation. Before she settled on murdering fictional people, she was a secretary, a school teacher, a pastor’s wife, and an amateur puppeteer. After several years living elsewhere, she and her husband moved back to her native Western New York State, where she enjoys cooking, crafts, classic movies and campy seventies television, board games, and posting pictures of her four cats on Facebook. She wrote three books in the nationally bestselling Bridal Bouquet Shop Mystery series (as Beverly Allen) before writing the Vintage Toyshop Mysteries.
