Endellion Palmer was born and raised in Scotland, moving through France, London and Hay-on-Wye to Atlanta, Georgia, where she currently lives with her husband and daughter. As a keen reader of Golden Age mysteries, after tinkering with various genres, the classic inter-war period was the one that proved to fit best. Her interests in ballet, travel, music and film, and social history have provided lots of background for characters and settings. She is currently at work on the second book in the series featuring Alistair Carr, to be set in the Scottish Highlands.
