Ivy Cassidy

Ivy Cassidy (a.k.a. Melissa Bourbon) is the national bestselling author of more than thirty-five novels, including the Book Magic mysteries, the Magical Dressmaking mysteries, and the Bread Shop mysteries (written as Winnie Archer). A former English teacher turned full-time writer, Ivy has a passion for storytelling, a knack for weaving magic into mysteries, and an incurable love of books. When she’s not plotting her next twisty tale, you can find her lost in a book, dreaming up new recipes, or chasing her dogs through the forest.
