Amita Murray lives in London with some tiny and very noisy people, and not so tiny or noisy cats. Just to keep things interesting, she writes in two genres: Regency mystery romance and contemporary mystery. Her Arya Winters mysteries are published by Agora and are under a TV option. Her mystery novel Thirteenth Night won the Exeter Novel Prize in 2022. A collection called Marmite and Mango Chutney won the SI Leeds Prize in 2016 and her short story 'A Heist in Three Acts' comes out in Ellery Queen Magazine in 2022. She's been writer-in-residence with the British Council, Spread the Word, Leverhulme and Literature Works, and she is committed to finding that magic button that creates more diversity in publishing.
