Maya St. John lives in the sun-baked splendor of the Southern California desert, where the wide skies and quirky small-town spirit find their way into everything she writes. When she's not plotting mysteries, she can be found working through a towering reading list — with two very curious cats offering unsolicited (but enthusiastic) editorial opinions.

Maya has always been drawn to stories about ordinary women who discover extraordinary strength — the kind found not in grand gestures, but in sharp minds, tight-knit communities, and the courage to ask the right questions. Her cozy mysteries celebrate amateur sleuths who solve crimes, forge connections, and prove that a clever pet and a good neighbor can be the most powerful detective tools of all.
