Short Mindy Bio:
Mindy Quigley is the author of two lighthearted mystery series. Her latest, the Deep Dish Mysteries (Minotaur-St. Martin’s Press) was a Woman’s World book club pick and has been featured in Parade, Milwaukee Magazine, and the Seattle Times.
Mindy’s non-writing career is stranger than fiction, having taken 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.
Between the Seasons episodes alternate interviews with single-episode character adventures, and have minimal post-production.
The Mysterious CHIRP theme song is by Ryan Terrell. Additional music courtesy of Riverside fm.
