Meet D.A. Sweeten

D.A. Sweeten makes her home in South Carolina, where she spends her days dreaming up small-town adventures and puzzling mysteries. At her side is Dot, her curious Papillon, who often inspires the four-legged sleuths in her stories.

In her downtime, she loves to curl up with a good book and wander through everyday life in search of the next adventure to weave into her writing. With a blend of charm, mischief, and plenty of heart, her cozy mysteries are crafted to feel like catching up with an old friend over tea.
