edit data

Ess Harelson grew up in the mountains of Colorado, in a town not-unlike Goldburgh, the fictional home of Siobhan O'Hurlihy, the sleuth in her Ms. O Mystery series. Now she lives where the air is thicker and the real estate prices are a little more realistic. She writes paranormal cozy mysteries and still works in a middle school. Every day she hears something where she thinks, “I’m going to steal that and put it in a story.”
Ess lives with her brilliant, yet self-effacing husband and her two children, with their cat, Alice, who has trained all of them to solve problems, as if they live in some giant psych lab run by cats. She dreams of one day having a Victorian conservatory for her exotic plants, with a phantom gardener to maintain it.
