When Will the Dead Lady Sing

Patricia Sprinkle decided in ninth grade to become a writer, a goal that remained with her as she went on to study creative writing at Vassar College. After a life-changing, deadline-free stint living in the Scottish Highlands, Sprinkle returned to the United States to settle down with her husband and kids in Atlanta, Georgia, whereupon she found her calling in the genre of mystery. Since 1988, Sprinkle has written twenty mysteries, four novels, and five non-fiction books. She later returned to the world of academia and attended Florida International University for a Masters of Arts in Religious Studies with a focus on religion and literature. She currently lives in Mableton, Georgia.
