About the author

Lucia Kuhl

<p>Lucia Kuhl is a pen name created from and in honor of the names of my grandmothers.</p><p>I write mysteries featuring characters that were raised on Mayberry and Happy Days. Who still believe in God, Pioneer Values, and the American Dream, but who&rsquo;ve learned some things were kept from us. Characters who have left the judgments of others in the past. Who&rsquo;ve been battered and beaten by life and who are finding their path, their way, with their understanding of God and &ldquo;Reality.&rdquo;</p><p>I am an animal lover. Any spelling errors or typos in my books are the work of my cats.&nbsp;Not really! My High School English Teacher knew I wanted to be a writer, and he rode my case. Thankfully word processors with built-in spell-check came along as I was leaving college.</p><p>Indiana is my home. I&nbsp;teach Ballroom Dance, and love to see Notre Dame win. Born and raised in the country I battle weeds in my flower garden between writing scenes, and searching for lost relatives, current and past. A&nbsp;long line of military soldiers invaded my family tree (or, maybe, I invaded their&rsquo;s) including a few from the American Revolutionary War. There is also an accused German Witch and a Michigan Politician in my background.&nbsp;Moon Lake Witch&nbsp;is loosely based on my ancestor.</p><p></p><p>Dad and Uncle Bert bought me a pony named Target at the age of three. &nbsp;A love affair with horses and Television Westerns began the day he clopped into my life and stepped on my foot. A few years later a favorite babysitter mesmerized me with countless ghost stories.</p><p>By the time I reached Jr. High I had fallen in love with Phyllis A. Whitney&rsquo;s mysterious mysteries and decided I wanted to become a writer like her.</p>
