Celeste Connally is the author of The Ancestry Detective series, an Agatha Award nominee, and a former freelance writer and editor, all under her other name of S.C. Perkins. Her debut cozy mystery, MURDER ONCE REMOVED, was the winner of the Malice Domestic Best First Traditional Novel Contest and features a protagonist who's as fascinated by genealogy as she is.

A lifelong devotee of historical novels and adaptations fueled by her passion for history, Celeste loves reading and writing about women who don’t always do as they are told.
