Paula Munier

PAULA MUNIER is the Senior Agent and Director of Storytelling for Talcott Notch Literary and the USA TODAY bestselling author of the Mercy Carr mysteries. A BORROWING OF BONES, the first in the series, was nominated for the Mary Higgins Clark Award and named the Dogwise Book of the Year. BLIND SEARCH also won a Dogwise Award. THE HIDING PLACE and THE WEDDING PLOT both appeared on several “Best Of” lists. HOME AT NIGHT, the fifth book in the series, was inspired by her volunteer work as a Natural Resources Steward of New Hampshire. THE NIGHT WOODS, received a LIBRARY JOURNAL starred review and her latest release, THE SNOW LIES DEEP, received rave reviews from PUBLISHERS WEEKLY and is available at your favorite bookseller. Along with her love of nature, Paula credits the hero dogs of Mission K9 Rescue, her own rescue dogs, and a deep affection for New England as her series’ major influences. She’s also written three popular books on writing: PLOT PERFECT, THE WRITER’S GUIDE TO BEGINNINGS, and WRITING WITH QUIET HANDS, as well as HAPPIER EVERY DAY and the memoir FIXING FREDDIE: THE TRUE STORY OF A BOY, A MOM, AND A VERY, VERY BAD BEAGLE. She lives in New England with her family and Bear the Newfoundland-retriever rescue, Bliss the Great Pyrenees-Australian cattle dog rescue, pandemic puppy Blondie, a Malinois rescue (much like Elvis in her books), and Ursula The Cat, a rescue torbie tabby who does not think much of the dogs.
