Peg A. Lamphier writes historical mysteries and biographies because writing is way more fun than chores or grading papers. Her favorite are her Kate Warne, Civil War Spy books, featuring an indomitable heroine with impeccable style, odd-ball friends and a sizzling hot artillery captain admirer. Kate’s adventures currently take up 4 books, with more planned for the future. Peg also writes a gas lamp fantasy (think Sherlock Holmes meets X-Files), the first of which is Deadly Delights & Vampires. Historical biographical novels about a Civil War Cavalry officer, an early twentieth century female labor organizer and a late Renaissance lady painter round out Peg’s fictional work.
Peg is also professor at Cal Poly Pomona, where she works in an Interdisciplinary program, mainly teaching classes in Horror and Science Fiction, though she sometimes also teaches classes in sustainability issues (where she gets to go take her tortoises to school on occasion). She teaches one class at Mount San Antonio College, her old favorite, American Women's History.
When she's not writing Peg likes to geek out at Renn Faires and haunt farmers markets for oddly colored produce. She lives in the mountains of Southern California with her ruggedly handsome husband, many dogs and more tortoises.
