<p>Trish Adler grew up in the Pacific Northwest. She got her degree in English Literature which she once used to win a trivia contest by knowing more Shakespeare than other people in a bar. </p>
<p>Like her character, Susan Rutherford, Trish was widowed young. She was not, however, suspected of murdering her husband no matter how many times she had been heard to mutter, “I could kill him for this.”  </p>
<p>She found out about widowhood the hard way when her husband died in a car accident. Since then she's learned more than she ever wanted to know about home repairs, car maintenance and middle-aged dating. Wine, on the other hand, she always knew what to do with </p>
<p/>
<p>When not coping with day-to-day chaos of her own (extremely long) To-Do list,  Trish writes the White Wine and Widowhood Mystery series featuring recent widow and amateur sleuth Susan Rutherford.</p>
