Traci Andrighetti

Traci Andrighetti is the author of the bestselling Franki Amato mystery series. Traci wrote her first mystery in her bedroom closet with her cousin Louisa when they were just twelve years old (it was called The Message in the Driftwood, a la Nancy Drew). But then she abandoned writing completely to pursue other interests, like parties, makeup, and boys. 
Of course, Traci would have never written a single line of text without the encouragement of her really persistent friend Linda and her Italian students, many of whom convinced her to write after listening to stories of her 80s college escapades and crazy-amazing adventures traveling in Italy. She is extremely grateful to them all.
