Meet the Author - Marcia Dove Marcia Dove is an avid reader of mystery novels, inspired by her late grandmother, Edith, a faithful follower of Agatha Christie. A former hospitality professional for over thirty years, Marcia writes about what she knows best; hospitality, the business of people— no stranger to the glamourous but often stressful world of hotel management. With a minor in Psychology, she approaches character-building introspectively—real-world people with all their frailties. Her books include a splash of romance and a peek at hotel life from a former general manager's perspective. Earning her MBA in International Hotel and Tourism in 2004, she embarked on a new career as a Hospitality Instructor; retiring in 2023. Much of her time is devoted to writing her Maggie McManus Mysteries and a new River Town series. Marcia lives in Ocala, Florida, with her three ginger cats, Freddie, Cupcake, and Pumpkin.
