Eugenia Lovett West

Eugenia Lovett West is a mystery author from Boston Massachusetts. She was born on February 1923 and went to Sarah Lawrence College before she took on a number of jobs. Her first job was with “Harper’s Bazaar” before she left to go work with the American Red Cross. In 1944 she met and married dashing fighter pilot Eric West and then spent several years making a family and volunteering. In the 1960s, her interest in writing came back strongly and she went back to working for publications. She worked for several local newspapers in New Jersey but soon got interested in writing novels. She does assert that at some point she got tired of the 300-word articles she was writing and thought why not 300 pages.
