Tessa Kelly is the award-winning author of the SANDIE JAMES MYSTERIES series.
As a former teacher with a degree in French, she spent several years living in an uptown Brooklyn neighborhood, frequenting its many cafes and coffee houses and getting to know it from the inside out. During her undergraduate years, she also worked at a small bakery, much like the one depicted in her novels, where she developed a lifelong fondness for cheesecake brownies.
When not writing, Tessa loves to be outdoors exploring hiking trails and often wandering off the beaten path. Some of her other passions include baking, learning foreign languages, and experimenting with natural plant dyes.
