Lisa Q Mathews
LISA Q. MATHEWS was a Nancy Drew editor, a lifeguard, and a competitive figure skater before she started writing mysteries.
Despite an inability to type, Lisa got her first job out of college as an editorial assistant. Later, she edited the Nancy Drew series and became Creative Director at Random House Children’s Books. She also wrote under pseudonym for Mary-Kate and Ashley and The Lizzie McGuire Mysteries.
A native New Englander, Lisa loves to write about tropical locales. Mom to three grown kids, she now resides in New Hampshire with her husband, a lucky black cat, and a crazy Golden Retriever pup.
Like her co-sleuths, twenty-something Summer Smythe and seventy-something Dorothy Westin, Lisa enjoys swimming, rich desserts, Nora Ephron movies, and above all a good mystery!
