Donna Huston Murray
Since real life doesn’t always end well, Donna Huston Murray makes sure her mysteries do. STRANGER DANGER, the third in her female sleuth, crime/thriller series was awarded the Global Book Awards’ Silver Medal for thrillers, and became a Finalist in the National Indie Excellence Awards. The first two novels in the series each received Honorable Mention in genre fiction from Writer’s Digest.. The author’s Ginger Barnes cozy whodunits feature an amateur sleuth much like herself, a DIY headmaster's wife with a troubling interest in crime. The eighth, FOR BETTER OR WORSE, became a Finalist in the National Indie Excellence Awards. Donna has also been inducted into her high school’s Lifetime Achievement Hall of Fame. When she isn’t plotting mayhem, Murray assumes she can fix anything until proven wrong, calls trash-picking recycling, and, even though she should know better by now, got a new puppy. Check her socials and you’ll understand. Donna and husband, Hench, live in Gwynedd, PA, USA.
