About the Author

San Francisco native J
OANNE
P
ENCE
grew up amidst the rich cultural diversity and culinary excellence of that city. A graduate of U.C. Berkeley with a master’s degree in journalism and a Phi Beta Kappa key, she has taught school in Japan, written for magazines, and worked as an operations analysis manager. Fiction writing, however, always has been her first love. Her background, as well as her Italian and Spanish heritage, are reflected in her critically acclaimed, award-winning mystery series.

Joanne Pence now lives north of San Francisco with her husband, two teenage sons, three cats and a golden retriever.
