Tessa Silver writes magical cozy mysteries set in the mystical small town of Quillhaven, in the northernmost part of Maine. Her journey as a writer began at age twelve when an English teacher assigned a short story and she responded with a thirty-six-page novel about a magical cat colony. She has been happily making up stories ever since. Filled with gentle magic, old secrets, talking cats, and characters who discover that the heart always finds its way home, her books are written for readers who long for a little wonder, a little warmth, and just enough enchantment to believe in the impossible again. She believes every story is better with hope, second chances, and at least one opinionated feline. Tessa lives, creates, and walks by the ocean in southern Maine with her generous husband and their hefty gray cat, Louis, who may or may not have magical abilities.
