Born in California and raised in South Florida, Harper Kincaid used to move around like she had a bounty on her head. Along the way, she’s been a community organizer, a college historian lecturer, an art teacher, and even a professional matchmaker.

Taking the circuitous route means she’s accumulated the kind of stories that are a hit at cocktail parties (if she went to parties) and are often stranger than fiction.

Lauded by Kirkus Reviews, Publisher’s Weekly, BuzzFeed, Fresh Fiction, Booklist, The Washington Post, and Cozy Mystery Book Review, she is a USA TODAY and Amazon national bestselling author whose works have been published by Washington Parent Media, Writer’s Digest Magazine, Crime Reads, Entangled Publishing, Crooked Lane Press, Throat Punch Media, Zibby Books, and Medium.

When not writing, she’s binge-watching documentaries, reading with dogs tucked in close, making mixed media art, and being with the people who matter.
