Having grown up hearing tales of Celtic legends, Kris Neri always hoped she’d either turn into a Celtic goddess or a leprechaun. When neither happened, she wrote the Samantha Brennan & Annabelle Haggerty magical mysteries, featuring a Celtic goddess hidden within the FBI, a questionable psychic, and even leprechauns. Both novels within the series, HIGH CRIMES ON THE MAGICAL PLANE and MAGICAL ALIENATION are Lefty Award nominees for Best Humorous Mystery Novel and MAGICAL ALIENATION won the New Mexico-Arizona Book Award. She’s hard at work on the next adventure in the series, MAGICAL MUSHROOMS.

Her latest novel, HOPSCOTCH LIFE, a women’s fiction-crime crossover and another NM-AZ Book Award winner, stars the incredibly quirky Plum Tardy, in this accept yourself in all your glory novel. Sally J. Smith, USA Today Bestselling Author writes of Hopscotch Life: “With a bevy of fun secondary characters, enough sparkling dialogue to fill a dozen champagne flutes, and just enough charming humor to keep Plum’s plight from breaking our hearts entirely, Neri finally walks her heroine through the execution of a plot twist worthy of Danny Ocean...oh, yes, utterly satisfying.”

She also writes the Tracy Eaton mysteries, featuring the daughter of eccentric Hollywood stars and even more wacky characters. Mystery News writes of the series, “Kris Neri and Tracy Eaton will be favorites in the mystery field for quite a long time.” Kris lives in New Mexico with her husband and two pushy terriers.
