Born and bred in North Carolina, Margaret Maron grew up on a small tobacco farm that has been in her family for over a hundred years. After two years in college, a summer job at the Pentagon led to marriage, a tour of duty in Italy, then several years in her husband’s native Brooklyn. During her first few years there, she wrote nothing but short stories and (she admits) very bad poetry. Then came the Lt. Sigrid Harald mysteries set against the New York City art world. Love of her native state and a desire to write out of current experiences led to the creation of District Court Judge Deborah Knott. Her first Deborah Knott novel, The Bootlegger’s Daughter, won the Agatha, Anthony, Edgar® and Macavity awards—the first mystery to win all four. Maron and her husband now live on a corner of her family’s land.
