S.C. Perkins

S.C. Perkins is a cozy mystery author from Houston Texas that is best known for her debut novel “Murder Once Removed.” The fifth-generation Texan grew up hearing eating a lot about Tex Mex and listening to fantastic stories about her ancestors, which she has said has been the inspiration for her first novel. The novel that was first published in 2019 won the Best First Traditional Mystery Prize by Malice Domestic. She has asserted that she always loved family histories which is why she loves her day job as a genealogist and takes great pride in assisting her many clients to trace their ancestries. While Perkins is overall a good friend and honest as can be, she can also be very stubborn especially when it comes to her writing hobby. Still, she tries her best to avoid interfering with investigations and do the right thing for both her clients and sometimes the authorities. She currently lives in Houston and when she is not tracing people’s genealogies, she can be found writing her novels, riding horses, or sunbathing at the beach.
