Annette Mahon has always wanted to write novels. A voracious reader from her youth, her interest in books and literature fueled her career choice. Mahon has a Masters Degree in Library Science, has worked in public and university libraries, and even spent a year in a Veteran's Administration Hospital Library. In Fort Wayne, IN, she hosted a library cable television show, "The Children's Room." Now that her children are grown, she is enjoying a second career as an author. She currently writes romance fiction with Hawaiian settings (and multicultural heroines) and cozy mysteries set in Scottsdale, Arizona.

A native of Hilo, Hawaii, Annette now lives in Arizona. She is a member of Romance Writers of America, Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, and Novelists, Inc.
