Carol Guy is a former newspaper reporter who traces her love of a good mystery back to the first time she picked up an Agatha Christie novel. Born in the small town of West Carrollton, Ohio, Carol credits her mother, who used to take her to the library once a week as a child, with instilling in her a love of reading. Carol is the author of the true crime book, A Picture Perfect Kid, which was a 2004 EPPIE finalist.

She has also had several articles published in OfficePro Magazine and Employment Times, and a photograph published in Tacenda Magazine.

She makes her home in Dayton, Ohio.
