Cindy Kline

 Born and raised in Michigan, Cindy Kline developed an early love for storytelling. After spending nearly two decades as a travel agent, exploring the world and gaining inspiration from the places and people she encountered, she decided to pursue her lifelong passion for writing. In 2020, she made the leap to become a full-time author, debuting her first book, Welcome Home to Murder

Set in the charming Irish village of Dooley, her ten-book Molly McGuire Irish Mystery Series has captivated readers with its quirky characters, clever plots, and a dash of Irish charm. Molly McGuire and her loyal "Snoop Group" are always ready to unravel the town's secrets, delivering a delightful mix of humor, intrigue, and heartwarming moments. 

Now Cindy is thrilling readers with an enchanting new world in the Cassie & Skelly Series. Set in the fictional village of Kilshannon, County Wexford, the series follows Cassie Evans — a woman with a remarkable gift — and Skelly, a roguish púca cursed into the form of an Irish Wolfhound. Together they stumble into murders, magic, and mayhem, with a cast of leprechauns and faeries keeping things delightfully unpredictable. If you love Irish mythology woven into your mysteries, this series was made for you. 

Ireland holds a special place in Cindy's heart — she visits regularly to soak up the landscapes, lore, and local color that bring her fictional villages to life. When she isn't dreaming up new mysteries, she enjoys traveling, indulging in cozy afternoons with a good book, and spending time with family, friends, and her two dogs, Buddy and Maggie. If you love a good whodunit with a touch of magic and Irish charm, you won't want to miss a single book.
