Lois Vining brings a rare blend of precision and creativity to the world of cozy mysteries, drawn from a distinguished career in meeting and convention planning. As the owner of her own successful planning company, Lois discovered that crafting the perfect mystery requires the same skills as orchestrating a flawless event: an eye for every detail and an instinct for knowing exactly when to surprise her guests. With a personal heritage rooted in the rich traditions of Ireland, Scotland, and England, Lois has a deep and abiding love for the Celtic world that breathes life into every page she writes and every recipe she shares. It is a heritage she wears proudly and one that her readers can taste in every dish. Her latest book is entitled, “Hearth & Highland Cookbook,” and it invites you to pull up a chair and share in the beloved flavors of Scotland and Ireland. These comforting dishes first appeared across eight of the author’s beloved cozy mystery novels set among misty moors, cobblestone villages, and rugged coastal shores. In retirement, Lois' curiosity and love of a good puzzle keep her wonderfully busy. Whether she is unraveling family secrets through genealogy research, staying active with water volleyball, or lending her time and talents to her church, she brings the same warmth and dedication to everything she does. And, of course, she keeps writing the charming cozy mysteries her readers have come to love. Her books are available on Lulu Publishing, Amazon, & BN.
