Ritter Ames is the USA TODAY bestselling mystery author who writes the cozy Organized Mysteries series, the new Frugal Lissa Mysteries, & the light-suspense Bodies of Art Mysteries. She loves to travel & try new dishes, & she loves sharing her love of places with her readers. She considers travel part of her research & feels there’s no better way to translate settings to a page than to have actually been there. When she can take her blonde Lab along, too, it makes travel & writing that much better. Ritter loves hearing from readers, & her website -  www.ritterames.com  - has more information about her & her books, as well as ways to connect with her via Facebook, Twitter, or through her blog. You can subscribe to her quarterly newsletter at -  smarturl.it/NewsltrSubcribe  - for sneak peeks, out-takes, inside scoops, special reader bonuses, cover reveals, alerts about upcoming sales, info on characters, & series previews.
