Angela M. Sanders worked over a decade as a congressional investigator before becoming a freelance writer, author of mysteries, and vintage clothing aficionado in Portland, Oregon. Her articles on history, personalities, culture, and food have appeared in a variety of magazines, and she is a weekly columnist for the popular perfume blog, Now Smell This.

It was after searching in vain for a fun, quirky mystery that was also smart that she began writing the Joanna Hayworth vintage clothing mysteries. Her love of wacky caper novels led her to resurrect the form with the Booster Club capers series.
