Angela K. Ryan is the author of the Cape Cod Cozy Mysteries, the Seaside Ice Cream Shop Mysteries, and the Sapphire Beach Cozy Mystery Series. She writes clean, feel-good cozies for readers who love humor, lots of twists and turns, and happy-dance endings.

When she is not writing, Angela enjoys the outdoors, especially kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, snowshoeing, and skiing. She lives in Massachusetts and loves all four of the New England seasons, but looks forward to regular escapes to the white, sandy beaches of southwest Florida, where her mother resides.

Angela would happily live in any of the fictitious seaside towns in Massachusetts and Florida, where her series take place, if it weren’t for all the bodies that keep turning up!

Angela dreams of one day owning a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel like the sweet pup in her Sapphire Beach Series, but she isn’t home enough to take care of one. So, for now, she lives vicariously through one of her main characters, Connie.
