Born and raised in the Sunshine State, Iris Chacon writes novels that produce a sunny state of mind in her readers. The natural beauty and allure of Florida combine with the quirks and moods of her characters to make Iris Chacon’s stories come to life in the happiest of ways. Aside from the obligatory murder for solving, Iris’ novels are also known for humor, repartee, romance, and adorable, lovable animals. Whether it’s horses, dogs, cats, bunnies, or even snakes, the non-human characters play an integral part in every story. Iris calls upon years of experience writing for the stage and screen, as well as for radio and magazines, to craft novels that are more than just good, clean, fun. Her books contain people, animals, and events that will lift the readers’ spirits and linger in their hearts. Iris loves travel, musicianship, photography, and hiking. She lives with her family in a small Florida community near where some of her ancestors have farmed since the 1700s, and others worked on the railroads that brought the first tourists down from the North in the 1920s.
