Ashley Sargeant Hagan
She has the mind of Agatha Christie with the soul of Mark Twain. Like Christie, she probes the hearts and minds of her characters, and of society, revealing the motivation behind what people do and say. Like Twain, she views everything with a humorous and witty eye. Her writing style is influenced by the nineteenth century novels she loves, but is combined with a very present-day use of dialogue. Originally from Lakeland, Florida, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and graduated from Belmont University with a degree in English and a minor in history. She still lives in Nashville with her musician husband and three children, and In her spare time, she is the chapter president for Sisters in Crime Middle Tennessee. She also volunteers as an educational guide at Glen Leven, an historic home and farm. She loves cats, mysteries, history, and tea.
