About meMaggie Bishop hikes, skis, climbs, swims, explores and writes in the mountains of North Carolina where she settled in 1993 with her husband and cat. Every time they travel, they seek out other mountains but none are as exciting as the ancient Appalachians. When asked, "What do you do?" her answer is, "Entertain with word pictures."
In 2007, she was chosen as one of 100 Incredible ECU Women for literature and leadership. She's an Air Force brat who put herself through East Carolina University and received a MBA degree, a former manufacturing executive, founder and past president of High Country Writers, past Secretary of Central Pennsylvania Romance Writers, and is a member of Romance Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, and the Appalachian Authors Guild.
Maggie's the current Treasurer of High Country Writers in Boone, NC. She's given workshops on Plotting a Novel in 60 Minutes, On Stage! Book Signings, Your First Chapter, Villains & Appalachian Villains, and Getting Organized. She was featured on the website of the Houston chapter of Sisters in Crime and on RomanceJunkies.com. She's been a speaker at the Cape Fear Crime Festival, Malice Domestic, Appalachian Regional Writers series, Watauga Arts Council and the Lees McRae College High Country Book Fair.
About my libraryMaggie Bishop is the author of two mysteries and two romance novels set in the Mountains of North Carolina in the Boone area. Murder at Blue Falls, released Fall of 2006, has Jemma who leads trail rides on her parents’ guest ranch as a suspect in the murder of neighborhood dogs and well as a man. Emeralds in the Snow involves skiing at Sugar Mountain, an emerald mine, and a cold case murder. Award winning Appalachian Paradise takes place on a five-day backpacking trip in the spring amongst the bears, boars and girl scouts. The second in the Appalachian Adventures Mystery series, Perfect for Framing, is due out in the Fall of 2008
Maggie's fun book is now available. Meow Means Me! Now! is a rhyming feline allegory with poetry and photos. This gift book is a departure from her novels but sprang from her love of cats.

The mountain does rise
Let me touch with my fingers
And see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children
A pure love still grows
Like a bright star in Heaven
That lights our way home
Like the flower that shattered the stone"
~ Joe Henry and John Jarvis
