Carmen Radtke

Carmen has spent most of her life with ink on her fingers, cozy crime plots on her mind (thank you, Agatha Christie), and a dangerously high pile of books and newspapers by her side. She has worked as a newspaper reporter on two continents. When she found herself crouched under her dining table, typing a novel between two earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand, she realised she was hooked for life. The shaken but stirring novel made it to the longlist of the Mslexia competition, and her next book and first mystery, The Case Of The Missing Bride, was a finalist in the Malice Domestic competition in a year without a winner. Since then, she has penned several more cozy mysteries, including the Jack and Frances series set in the 1930s. Her Eve Holdsworth mysteries are her first contemporary cozies. Since she suffers from a surfeit of ideas, she’s also writing fun-filled paranormal cozy mysteries.  In real life, Carmen is absolutely law-abiding, has never met a ghost or been able to communicate with pets (sad, but true). The only time she shed blood and swatted a fly was by accident. Her wanderlust has led her to live in Germany, New Zealand, and the UK. Currently, Carmen lives in Italy with her human and her four-legged family.
