Mary Coley

Mary Coley writes award-winning mysteries, usually set in her home state of Oklahoma. With the heart of an adventurer, she loves to travel and learn new things. Sometimes those things end up in her fiction.

Crumbling Bones is her ninh mystery, and the first to be set in her home town of Enid, Oklahoma. She is thankful that her Enid High Creative Writing teacher, Mrs. Cozart, was always so encouraging.

After receiving her B.S and M.S. degrees at Oklahoma State University, she worked for the Nature Conservancy of Oklahoma and the City of Tulsa before retiring to write fiction. Currently, she spends time in both Jenks and Edmond, OK. She and her husband, Daryl, have five adult children, eight grandchildren and their Dachsund mix rescue, Trixie.
