About the Author

As a reader, Cheryl Peyton always enjoyed the classic whodunits like those of Dorothy Sayers, Ruth Rendell, and Agatha Christie. In writing her "vacation mystery series," she has emulated the format in her own mystery series featuring Alex Trotter, and added a dose of humor. The author is a founding member of the Authors Guild of Tennessee. A native Chicagoan, she now makes her home outside of Knoxville in Loudon, Tennessee with her husband Jim and their dog Cody.
