Maia Chance writes addictively creepy domestic thrillers with a supernatural twist, including The Body Next Door. She's also the author of the quirky and humorous Discreet Retrieval Agency, Fairy Tale Fatal, and Agnes & Effie mysteries. Every story she writes starts with a house she's obsessed with--whether it's a New England farmhouse or a castle in the Black Forest. She loves to bake, read, and walk her dog (a terrier with an incredible moustache) while secretly gawking at other people's houses. Maia lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and two children, and you can connect with her at maiachance.com.
