Petra Phillips has been writing since she was a kid, starting with childhood diaries, high school short stories, college creative writing classes, and stints as a newspaper reporter and advertising copywriter. Now, she crafts funny, fast-moving cozies set in small towns with big secrets.

A ravenous reader herself, Petra was born and raised in a town very much like Deer Tick, PA. She enjoys small town-life, iced dirty chai’s, puggles, and a good pen.
