Ms America and the Brouhaha on Broadway

Diana Dempsey never competed in beauty pageants but she did the next best thing: she worked in TV news. After a dozen years as an Emmy Award-winning anchor and reporter, Diana morphed into an author of women’s fiction and mystery. The Ms America mysteries, launched with MS AMERICA AND THE OFFING ON OAHU, are madcap cozies featuring Happy Pennington, beauty queen and budding sleuth. Born and raised in Buffalo, New York-Go, Bills!-Diana is a graduate of Harvard University and the winner of a Rotary International Foundation Scholarship. She enjoyed stints overseas in Belgium, the U.K., and Japan, and now resides in Los Angeles with her husband and a West Highland White Terrier, not necessarily in that order.
