Ava Mallory

If napping was a person, it would be Ava Mallory.

In formal settings, Ava is a Wall Street Journal & USA Today Bestselling Author. At home, a so-incredibly-un-serious place, Ava is the sleepy, slightly grumpy, slow-running, side-eyeing, mostly lovable mom of four adult-ish children, an overstimulated CEO of her casita, and the queen of her sofa that more often than not doubles as her home office while her actual home office stares at her longingly.

When not cleaning the same room over and over again because no one ever puts anything back where it belongs, Ava can be found partially wrapped in a cozy blanket because she's both hot and cold and somehow stumbled into middle age somewhere between "I wish I was an adult" and "Why didn't anyone warn me that adulthood lasts forever and ever?"

No matter the situation, Ava always has a million ideas floating around her noggin and spilling out of her mouth and a dozen or two of her favorite pens nearby, and of course, a cafecito with a splash of cream because no self-respecting Latina would be caught dead (or alive) without one.

If you enjoy cozy mysteries with a dash of sass, head-spinning puzzles to solve, and a healthy (or mildly unhealthy) dose of humor, you've landed in the right place. Pull up a seat and stay a while. Ava will pour the coffee or tea for you.
