Bouchercon 2023 Cozy Guest of Honor Kate Carlisle

Bouchercon 2023 Cozy Guest of Honor: Kate Carlisle New York Times bestselling author Kate Carlisle is a native Californian who worked in television production for many years before turning to writing. It was a lifelong fascination with the art and craft of bookbinding that led her to write the Bibliophile Mysteries, featuring Brooklyn Wainwright, whose bookbinding and restoration skills invariably uncover old secrets, treachery and murder. Her first book in that series, Homicide in Hardcover, debuted in February 2010. In November 2014, Kate launched the Fixer-Upper Mysteries featuring building contractor Shannon Hammer, who specializes in Victorian home renovation and repair. The series is set in Lighthouse Cove, a seemingly idyllic town with many dark secrets hiding under its floorboards. Three of the Fixer-Upper Mysteries have been brought to the small screen by Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.
