Linda talks with Victoria L.K. Williams, author of several cozy mystery series.

Victoria L.K. Williams grew up reading Nancy Drew mysteries in upstate New York. Now she lives in a small town in sunny Florida with her husband of 37 years and her two controlling cats, Miss Marple and Fletch. Her Citrus Beach Mysteries reflect quite a bit of herself. The Sister Station series reflects the setting of her youth. Both series show a love for small townships where neighbors look out for each other. She loves to garden and writes a gardening blog called “Gossip from the Southern Garden.” Find her and all the stories she writes at VictoriaLKWilliams.com, and go to payhip.com/VictoriaLKWilliams to buy her books.
