About the author
Roz Watkins
Roz is the author of the DI Meg Dalton crime series. When writing the first three books, she lived on the edge of the Peak District, where the series is set. (Meg lives in Belper, and the fictional town Eldercliffe was inspired by nearby Wirksworth.)
Roz has a Post Graduate Certificate in Business and Personal Coaching from the University of Derby and is an experienced course leader.
Before she started writing, Roz worked as a partner in a firm of patent attorneys in Derby, but of course this has nothing to do with there being a dead one in her first novel! She has also worked as a business coach and an animal trainer.
Roz's dog Starsky accompanies her on walks, checking out potential murder locations and hoping to find a body. All her animals are a great help.
Roz has recently moved to Cornwall, which is providing fantastic inspiration for more books. She lives in beautiful Falmouth, a short walk from the sea.
