Brandy Schillace is a historian, mystery novelist, and author of nonfiction. Having grown up in an underground house (next to a graveyard, in abandoned coal lands), it’s not surprising her work tends toward intrigue. Like the heroine of THE FRAMED WOMEN of ARDMORE HOUSE and THE DEAD COME TO STAY, she is also autistic, though has not (to her knowledge) been a suspect in a murder investigation.
