Our author this week is New York native and author extraordinaire, Maria DiRico (pen name of Ellen Byron), who shares her love for the Big Apple, her career path from playwright to TV writer to a master of mysteries, and the personal connections and life experiences that enhance her stories.
With a career that spans both coasts, Maria talks about her pivot to novel writing as a result of the harsh realities of ageism in Hollywood comedy writing, and how she found happiness writing cozy mysteries.
