edit data

Sally Handley has been an avid reader her whole life. Ten years ago she began writing cozy mysteries. Since then, she’s published seven books in her Holly & Ivy mystery series, a stand-alone suspense novel, and a dog story written from the point of view of her faithful companion, Trixie.

After reading Kindling the Celtic Spirit by Mara Freeman, Sally became intrigued with Celtic folklore which inspired her to write Destiny’s Ring, the first book in her Harp of the Woods series.

Sally hosts a Meet the Authors Series and a monthly on-line Mystery Book Club on her YouTube Channel. For more info visit: www.sallyhandley.com.
