Paula Munier
PAULA MUNIER is a literary agent and the USA TODAY bestselling author of the Mercy Carr mysteries. A BORROWING OF BONES, the first in the series, was nominated for the Mary Higgins Clark Award and named the Dogwise Book of the Year. BLIND SEARCH was inspired by the real-life rescue of a little boy with autism who got lost in the woods. THE HIDING PLACE debuted in March 2021. Paula credits the hero dogs of Mission K9 Rescue, her own rescue dogs, and a deep love of New England as her series’ major influences. Paula has also written three popular books on writing: PLOT PERFECT, THE WRITER'S GUIDE TO BEGINNINGS, and WRITING WITH QUIET HANDS, as well as FIXING FREDDIE and HAPPIER EVERY DAY. She lives in New England with her family and Bear the Newfoundland-retriever rescue, Bliss the Great Pyrenees-Australian cattle dog rescue, pandemic puppy Blondie, a Malinois rescue (much like Elvis in her books), and Ursula The Cat, a rescue torbie tabby who does not think much of the dogs.
