About the Author
PJ Peterson began writing mysteries once she retired from her career as a board-certified internist. It was a natural choice considering that she read all the Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden books when she was younger, graduating to Agatha Christie and the other major mystery authors.
Her first series, Julia Fairchild Mysteries, features Julia Fairchild, MD, a smart and curious young internist who is much braver than the author (who has yet to try sky-diving).
Her novels include a touch of humor with her sidekick sister Carly providing most of that. And with her medical background, she sprinkles in something related to health or disease whenever it fits the story. After all, a doctor is just a detective wearing a white coat.
Her writing has been described as “Jessica Fletcheresque,” à la Murder She Wrote.
At Cozy, She Wrote, we love a good mystery — as long as it’s captivating, not creepy. We like our killers cold-blooded, not covered in blood. Our criminals are clever and our crime scenes are clean. It’s murder for the mild-mannered, and we are here for it.
Editor Cielle Kenner is the author of the Enchanted Antique Shop series of magical mysteries with a time-travel twist.
