Morgana Best grew up in the Australian outback and has been writing cozy mysteries since 2014. She is a USA Today bestselling author with over 85 books published across sixteen series. Her longest-running series, The Kitchen Witch, follows clumsy kitchen witch Amelia Spelled through paranormal murder mysteries in a remote Australian town. Other popular series include Witches and Wine, which features witch Pepper Jasper running a bed and breakfast, and the Australian Amateur Sleuth books, which star divorcee Sybil Potts solving crimes in the fictional town of Little Tatterford.
Best has a gift for puns and wordplay, which shows up in nearly all of her titles. Her Australian Amateur Sleuth series riffs on movie and food names (Live and Let Diet, The Prawn Identity, Tequila Mockingbird), while the Sea Witch Cozy Mysteries cycle through broom-based puns. Whether the setting is a horse rescue, a funeral home, or a chocolate shop, Best sticks to a reliable formula: a likable female protagonist, a small-town Australian backdrop, a dead body, and plenty of humor.
