Rett MacPherson was born in Saint Louis, Missouri. She is the author of the popular Torie O'Shea mysteries and helped to pioneer the sub-genre of genealogical mysteries. She is also a bead and fabric artist and loves wineries, cemeteries, genealogy, history and of course, books.
“Most people get excited over new cars; I get excited over death certificates. It's no wonder my husband worries about my state of mind.”
“She is my companion on my many genealogical hunts, and I will be forever indebted to her for the knowledge that she bequeathed to me. And I can think of nobody I would rather traipse through a cemetery with, and that says a lot about a person.”
“Librarians are your very best friend. And don't ever think otherwise.”
“Reading is a staple of life, like bread or water. Or chocolate.”
