Sloane Foster is the creator of the beloved Marnie Devlin cozy mystery series, set in the charming small town of Willow Springs. With a keen eye for community dynamics and the complexities of starting over later in life, Sloane brings authentic warmth and insight to the traditional cozy mystery format.

Drawing inspiration from small-town America and the resilience of women reinventing themselves, Sloane crafts mysteries that blend puzzle-solving with heartfelt character development. The Marnie Devlin series follows a retired English teacher who opens a vintage boutique and discovers she has a talent for solving crimes alongside her devoted Chihuahua, Taco.

"Body Behind the Library" marks the debut of this engaging series, introducing readers to Willow Springs' close-knit community where vintage fashion meets modern mystery. The series celebrates the power of friendship, the wisdom that comes with experience, and the truth that it's never too late to start a new chapter—even when that chapter involves catching killers.

When not crafting intricate plots and developing the relationships between Marnie, Ruby, Will, Kate, and the unforgettable Taco, Sloane enjoys her monthly book club, singing and hiking with Taco.

Sloane believes the best mysteries aren't just about solving crimes—they're about the communities that come together to seek justice and the ordinary people who discover extraordinary courage when it matters most.
