Maren C. Tirabassi's forty-four years' experience in mainline ministry shaped Wanda Duff's professional life (but not her personality). Tirabassi is a former Poet Laureate of the city of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and the recipient of the 2023 Lifetime Achievement Award from the New Hampshire Humanities Council. She has published twenty-two nonfiction titles and poetry and short stories in fifteen anthologies but enjoys most of all writing cozies.
