Celeste Connally is the USA Today bestselling author of the Lady Petra Inquires series, an Agatha Award nominee, and a former freelance writer and editor. Her Regency-set mysteries feature a headstrong heroine, a feminist spin, and as many equestrian scenes as her plots and editor will allow. She delights in giving her mysteries a good dose of romance, as well as a few research facts she hopes you'll find as interesting as she does. A Texas native and lifelong Anglophile, Celeste is passionate about history and slightly obsessed with period dramas--but what she loves most is reading and writing about women who don't always do as they're told.
