USA Today best-selling author Annette Dashofy has spent her entire life in rural Pennsylvania surrounded by cattle and horses. When she wasn’t roaming the family’s farm or playing in the barn, she could be found reading or writing. After high school, she spent five years as an EMT on the local ambulance service, dealing with everything from drunks passing out on the sidewalk to mangled bodies in car accidents. These days, she, her husband, and their spoiled cat, Kensi, live on property that was once part of her grandfather’s dairy.

​

Her Zoe Chambers mysteries includes five Agatha Award nominees. The eleventh in the series, Fatal Reunion, was released in May 2022 from Level Best Books.

​

Annette's standalone, Death by Equine, a traditional mystery set in the world of Thoroughbred racing, has been named a finalist for the 2021 Dr. Tony Ryan Book Award.

 

Her short fiction, including a 2007 Derringer finalist which features the same characters as her novels, has appeared in Mysterical-e, Spinetingler, Fish Tales: the Guppy Anthology, and Lucky Charms: 12 Crime Tales. She has also released Crime in the Country: A Zoe Chambers Anthology which includes six short stories featuring the characters from the series.
