CM Blanchard is an author of fantasy, mystery and detective fiction stories set mainly in beautiful places in Europe.

She has a strong connection to history and landscape and a rather quirky sense of humor that comes out in unexpected places.

Whether it's a murder mystery such as The Tainted Vintage, an urban fantasy such as The Ring, or a sci fi novel such as Genesis Unbound, expect the unexpected!

When she isn't writing, she loves working with children to encourage a love of reading for life. She also loves listening to podcasts.

And when she isn't doing that she's probably knitting woollen socks for Christmas presents, or making bookmarks that actually stay in books.
