While T. C. LoTempio does not commit--or solve--murders in real life, she has no trouble doing it on paper. Her lifelong love of mysteries began early on when she was introduced to her first Nancy Drew mystery at age ten (The Secret in the Old Attic). She is also passionate about her love for animals, as demonstrated with her four cats: Trixie, Princess, Maxx and, of course, Rocco, who not only provided the inspiration for the character of Nick the Cat in the Nick and Nora mystery series, but who also writes his own blog and does charity work for Nathan Fillion's charity, Kids Need to Read!
