Wendy Clinch
Wendy Clinch will read from and autograph the first book in her new Ski Diva Mystery series, Double Black.
In Double Black, Boston’s twenty-something Stacey Curtis ditches her cheating fiance and heads for a Vermont ski town. She’s looking for the life she’s always dreamed about, but she stumbles instead into financial intrigue, bitter family warfare, and murder. Populated with quirky characters, loaded with New England atmosphere, and starring a young woman with nerve, spunk, and a sense of humor about it all, Double Black is an exciting run down some treacherous mountain trails. "Clinch...clearly knows and loves the terrain, conjuring the kind of bewitching winter wonderland and endearing New England characters that will leave readers antsy for a return visit," says Publishers Weekly.
Born and raised in Ocean County, NJ, Wendy Clinch is the founder of TheSkiDiva.com, a popular website for women skiers. She writes about women's skiing and related topics at her blog. She's a former advertising copywriter, having spent more than 25 years in the field, most recently as a partner in her own agency in suburban Philadelphia. A graduate of Syracuse University, Wendy now lives in Vermont with her husband, Jon Clinch, author of Finn: A Novel and the forthcoming Kings of the Earth.
