Peg grew up in a New Jersey suburb about 25 miles outside of New York City.
After college, she moved to the City where she managed an art gallery owned by
the son of the artist Henri Matisse. When her first daughter, Francesca,
arrived, the new family moved back to the New Jersey suburbs where her second
daughter, Annabelle, was born.
After her husband died, Peg remarried and
her new husband took a job in Grand Rapids, MI where they now live (on exile
from NJ, she likes to joke). Peg managed to segue from the art world to
marketing and is now the manager of marketing communications for a company that
provides services to seniors.
Her greatest love though has always been
writing-particularly mysteries! She has two cozy mystery series debuting from
Berkley Prime Crime-the Gourmet De-Lite series set in Connecticut and featuring
Gigi Fitzgerald who provides gourmet diet meals to a select group of clients,
and the Sweet Nothings Vintage Lingerie series, written as Meg London, set in
Paris, TN with Emma Taylor who finds murder and mayhem in this quiet country
town.
As for pets - she has a schizophrenic cat (really) named Frazzle and
a Westhighland White Terrier, Reggie, who is desperately in need of losing a few
pounds. But you know what they say: If your dog is overweight, it means YOU
aren't getting enough exercise!
When she's not writing, Peg can usually be
found cooking, which she loves. When asked to bring a dish to a potluck she
invariably opts to bring dessert - partly because she loves making sweet dishes
and partly because she and her husband always manage to be late so there's no
point in putting them in charge of the appetizer
Cranberry farm owner Monica Albertson is once again bogged down in murder
in the second Cranberry Cove mystery from national bestselling author Peg
Cochran.
The town of Cranberry Cove is popping with excitement: Monica Albertson is
baking cranberry goodies, and shopkeepers are decking out their storefronts for
the first annual Winter Walk—an event dreamed up by the mayor to bring visitors
to the town during a normally dead time of year.
But it’s the mayor who turns up dead during the grand opening ceremony, his
lifeless body making its entrance in a horse-drawn sleigh. Monica’s mother and
stepmother quickly become the prime suspects when it’s discovered that the mayor
was dating both of them. To make things worse, her half-brother Jeff uncovers a
clue buried near a bog on Sassmanash Farm. Now it’s up to Monica to find out who
really put the mayor on ice.
