Inspired by the discovery that an ancestor founded the Woman’s Medical College of PA\, Daly’s first two novels\, The Unlocked Path and The Path Beneath Her Feet\, celebrates pioneering women doctors in the first half of the 20th century. Her third book\, Under Two Flags\, is a retelling of a memoir of a young Boston woman who travels to Berlin in 1916 to study opera. Daly’s grandfather\, Eliot H. Robinson\, Sr. ghost-wrote the original memoir in 1918. \nDaly graduated with a B.A. in Psychology from Wheaton College\, at the time\, a women’s college. At Wheaton\, she developed a heightened awareness of female-centric issues. She went on to a career in consumer marketing and sales before turning a love of history into a second chapter. Her annual literary citizenship program\, #31titleswomeninhistory\, has gained recognition as an innovative way to celebrate Women’s History Month in March.

His essays have appeared in the Boston Globe\, Washington Post and Chicago Tribune. Recipient of a Fulbright award and a career in education\, he most recently served as a professor at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. He lives in central Massachusetts with his wife\, Laurie\, and two cats standing in for three kids who’ve flown the coop. When he’s not teaching\, writing\, or volunteering around town\, you can find him outdoors on his bike or trekking through the woods just a few steps from his kitchen door.

Her latest books are a trio of legal dramas featuring a former district attorney trying to salvage her once promising career: Miranda Writes\, Miranda Nights and Miranda Fights. \nOlmsted enjoys writing about quirky\, wonderful women in search of a second chance at a happy ever after.
