Mamie is the author of the DI Berry series, set in her home county of Ayrshire, Scotland.

Having followed the path of getting a ‘proper’ job, she spent ten years in the Civil Service before retraining as a history teacher. A few years ago, she read an article that asked ‘what did you want to do when you were eight years old?’ and her instinctive response was ‘write stories’.

She has written non-fiction books, memoirs for clients, and contributed to anthologies. When it came to writing her first novel, maybe because crime and thrillers are her favourite genre, she was drawn to write her own murder mysteries. ‘Mr Murdoch is Dead’ and 'Lilianne Is Dead' are the first two books in the series.

When she isn’t writing, Mamie can be found walking her dog, reading, attempting to declutter, and enjoying the company of family and friends.
