About the author

New York Times bestselling author Diane Mott Davidson wrote three novels before one was accepted for publication—when she was 41. She has since written 14 more mysteries, all featuring Goldy the caterer. In addition, she has written short stories and poetry for various publications. Davidson has won the Anthony Award from Bouchercon, and has been nominated for the Agatha, another Anthony, and the Macavity Award. In 1993 she was named Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers' Writer of the Year.

Davidson was educated at St. Anne's School in Charlottesville, Virginia, where her English teacher, Emyl Jenkins, encouraged her to become a writer. She attended Wellesley College, where she was named a Wellesley Scholar, before transferring to Stanford University, from which she graduated with a double major in Art History and Political Science. Several years (and one child) later, she received her MA in Art History from Johns Hopkins.

Davidson has volunteered for numerous organizations. She was a tutor in a correctional facility, rape-victim counselor, and served for 10 years on the Board of Examining Chaplains of the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado. For years she taught the adult Bible study at her parish, where she was also licensed to preach.

Davidson has been married to her husband, Jim, for almost 40 years. They have three sons, a daughter-in-law, two grandchildren, and a basset hound.

Love the adventures of Goldie,Arch and Marla. This is another good Catering story.

[Adrienne Muller · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved everyone of her series. Very light, great recipes that are included. It feels like Colorado when I read her discriptions...

These are light, fluffy little mysteries that are fun to escape into and they feature recipes at the end of the stories. I wouldn't go out of my way looking for more, but I would be willing to buy more of her books every now and then. I've listened to them more than once and would probably listen to them more often if I could convert them to MP3 files on my computer.

Love Diane's books about Goldy and her sleuthing attempts. Thing is she does a good job of helping her cop husband Tom solve them.

Not really an audio person - like to hold the book

[Kathryn Z · Rating 4 out of 5]

These three are highlighting Goldie (Gertrude) Bear. In the 1st, Goldie seems to have great anger issues though that fits with the story. I gave the 2nd book, Dying for Chocolate, higher rating.Murder of a different sort. Many secrets and twists. A delightful read with psychological interests.
