"My favorite kind of book--old sins cast long shadows. When a long-dead woman is found behind the fireplace at Regina College, new crimes begin to happen. The Rosary Bride is suspenseful and poignant." Barbara D'Amato, author of the Cat Marsala Mysteries

"The Lion Tamer offers us a curious heroine, a handsome husband, a dashing ex-lover and a skeleton or two. Welcome to the engaging Grace Marsden's world, where romance and mayhem vie for her attention–much to a reader's satisfaction and delight!" –Sharon Fiffer, author of The Jane Wheel Mysteries

"Cutting-edge cozy. The Station Master is filled with long-buried secrets, elaborate twists, and nail-biting suspense. Buehler and Marsden just keep getting better and better." J.A. Konrath, author of Bloody Mary: A Lt. Jack Daniels Thriller

A native of the Chicago area and owner of her own Staffing Services corporation, Luisa Buehler attended Rosary College during the seventies and ended up with a B.A. English. Even then the stories of spirits, sightings, and the supernatural intrigued her. Since then she has spent as much time as she could "giving back." With fifteen years as a Docent at Brookfield Zoo and five years as a Boy Scouts of America Leader, she has finally taken the time to do what she loves. Luisa lives in Lisle, Illinois with her husband, Gerry, their son, Christopher, and the family cat, Martin Marmalade. In her free time, Luisa loves to garden and wishes she could play golf better.
