MAGGIE FOSTER is a seventh-generation Texan of Scottish descent who writes murder mysteries featuring the same. Her stories are drawn from her fevered imagination and her experiences as a nurse, lawyer, educator, and redhead. Her interests include history, genealogy, music, dance, travel, dark chocolate, good whisky, and men in kilts, not necessarily in that order.

FUN FACTS: She earned a high school athletic letter in Highland Dancing, in Texas. [True!] She also played bagpipes (less successfully). She has taught Royal Scottish Country Dancing and has demonstrated both at the State Fair of Texas and on the stage at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas.
