Ashley Sargeant Hagan writes traditional mysteries with a large dose of romance. Her novels probe the hearts and minds of her characters and society, revealing the motivation behind what people do and say, but always with a humorous and witty eye.  

Originally from Lakeland, Florida, she is a long-time resident of Nashville, Tennessee, where she lives with her musician husband and their three children. She is also a freelance editor and publishing consultant for independently published authors and a sought-after speaker and panelist at conferences and writing groups. She is the immediate past president of Sisters in Crime Middle Tennessee and has just launched a new writing group–The Dangerous Pen Society. She loves cats, mysteries, history, and tea, and when she’s not writing, editing, or encouraging other authors, you’ll find her in her vintage and new shop.
