S.J. Short

S. J. Short is an Australian author residing in Canada.

After a decade writing the lighter side of fiction, she woke up one day with a need to go to the dark side. Her first thriller, The Young Widows, was plotted over a single dinner with her husband, who was nervous that after ten years of writing happily ever afters she suddenly wanted to write about murder.

Now she writes twisty, female-centric mysteries and can often be found pondering the perfect way to kill someone. She lives in Toronto with her husband, where she writes with a glorious view of Lake Ontario and her coffee machine at arm’s reach.
