Staci McLaughlin

In my former life, I was a technical writer at a number of computer software companies. Now, I've traded in my cubicle and coworkers for diapers and carpool duty. You can find me online at www.stacimclaughlin.com and at the LadyKillers blog, where a group of fellow mystery and crime writers post their thoughts on writing, reading, and life in general(http://www.theladykillers.typepad.com/). I live with my husband, two kids, and various pets in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Going Organic Can Kill You, a cozy mystery, is the first in the Blossom Valley series. It takes place at an organic farm and spa, where Dana Lewis must solve a murder while catching loose pigs and avoiding the adventurous spa cook's latest concoctions. She doesn't know what might kill her first: the murderer or those tofu fish sticks.
