B J Bowen

Ms. Bowen is an accomplished professional oboist who played with the Colorado Springs Symphony for nineteen years.

Drawing on her quirky fellow musicians and orchestral experiences, she created the cozy mystery series, "Musical Murders,” featuring flutist and amateur sleuth Emily Wilson. Number 1 of 3 is "Music is Murder". Number 2 of 3 is "Ballistics at the Ballet". Number 3 of 3 is "Fireworks on the Fourth".

She is also a freelance writer and member of Sisters in Crime. She was a finalist and Honorable Mention in the 2018 Focus: Eddy Awards for her article, “Letting Go with Grace,” published in Unity Magazine.

She lives in Colorado with two canine friends, and has a song for any occasion.
