Denise Swanson is the New York Times bestselling author of the Scumble River mystery series.

She was shocked to discover that getting a book published was nearly as difficult as vanquishing scoundrels. Her series features Skye Denison, a school psychologist-sleuth. Denise writes from her experiences as a school psychologist and small town resident. Her most recent book, Murder of a Bookstore Babe, debuted March 1, 2011.
Denise lives in Illinois with her husband, classical composer David Stybr, and their cool black cat Boomerang. www.deniseswanson.com
