Margaret Lashley

Margaret Lashley is the best-selling author of the Val Fremden Mystery Series, including Glad One, Two Crazy, Three Dumb, What Four, Five Oh, Six Tricks, Seven Daze, Figure Eight and Cloud Nine. (Plus the stand-alone Val Fremden prequel novel, Absolute Zero.)

Featuring an extremely reluctant amateur sleuth in her mid forties, each Val Fremden mystery is packed with laughs and plot twists you'll never see coming. But the books also go deeper, exploring the ups and downs of being a woman, while mining midlife for all the laughs along the way. Often compared to Janet Evanovich by her readers, Margaret Lashley's books are similarly funny and upbeat, and offer a depth of character that will quickly have you rooting (and cringing) for Val all along the way.

In addition, Ms. Lashley is excited to announce a new series coming in May. The Drex Files. Picture The X Files with Scully as a washed-out country gal and Mulder as a wisecracking savant in an RV. Oh yeah. It's gonna be fun! Margaret is a native of Florida, and lives in sunny St. Petersburg.
