New York Times bestselling author Krista Davis writes the Domestic Diva Mysteries, the Paws and Claws Mysteries, and the Pen & Ink Mysteries. Her first book, The Diva Runs Out of Thyme, was nominated for an Agatha award. Krista's Halloween mystery, The Diva Haunts the House, made the extended New York Times bestseller list and was also nominated for an Agatha award. The Season E-zine says "The mystery is clever, the plot has more twists and turns than a funhouse maze, and the sense of atmosphere is so strong you can practically smell the wood smoke and hear the dead leaves rattling in the street."

The Domestic Diva Mysteries take place in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia and feature Sophie Winston, who loves to entertain but prefers to keep things simple. Each book includes recipes as well as tips on entertaining, cooking, and decorating.

The Paws and Claws Mysteries take place in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia on fictional Wagtail Mountain. As the name suggests, the books involve dogs and cats, starring a Jack Russell Terrier named Trixie who has a nose for trouble. They feature recipes for dogs as well as for people. Her first Paws and Claws Mystery, Murder, She Barked, was number 14 on the New York Times bestseller list.

In the Pen & Ink series, Florrie Fox is a bookstore manager by day and an adult coloring book artist by night. Set in Georgetown, Washington DC, the covers of these mysteries can be colored by the reader! Read the mystery, color the cover!

Davis resided for a time in Old Town and now lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains with a collection of cats and dogs who inspire the antics of the animals in her books.
