Cindy Brown has been a theatre geek (actor, director, playwright, etc.) since her first professional gig at age 14. Now a full-time writer, she's the author of the Agatha-nominated Ivy Meadows series, madcap mysteries set in the off, off, OFF Broadway world of theatre. Cindy lives in Portland, Oregon, though she made her home in Phoenix, Arizona for years, and knows all the good places to hide dead bodies in both cities.
