Ava Mallory has been a grade school teacher, a psychiatric technician, a dementia unit nurse manager, a hospice nurse, and now a USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author.
She has embarrassed herself in front of handsome celebrities, won vocal contests, survived a major earthquake, and nearly drowned when she mistakenly thought a YMCA lifeguard asked her to dive into the deep end on her first day of swim lessons. She and her "brood" share their home with a massive collection of books and a never-ending supply of wacky ideas.
She writes cozy mysteries, paranormal mysteries, and sweet romance mysteries under her main name and manages several pen names for other genres including thrillers, romantic suspense, humorous nonfiction, and women's fiction.
In addition to writing fiction, Ava runs the Tales from the Brood blog, a personal blog about single-parenthood with teens and young adult children and all the foibles that come with it.
