Sharon Healy-Yang is passionate about mysteries from the golden age, whether in a book or on the screen. Her fascination with mysteries and history of the 1940s drives her pleasure in crafting novels that recapture the wit, adventure, and suspense of the era. Known on campus at Worcester State University as the lady with the 1940s hats, she has the great fortune to combine her love of literature and film in teaching courses aimed to enkindle that same excitement in her students. Healy-Yang lives in Massachusetts with her husband, two cats, and an enormous collection of vintage films.
