Manda Collins spent her teen years wishing she'd been born a couple ofcenturies earlier, preferably in the English countryside. Time travel beingwhat it is, she resigned herself to life with electricity and indoorplumbing, and read lots of books. An affinity for books led to a graduatedegree in English, followed by another in Librarianship. By day, she worksas an academic librarian at a small liberal arts college, where she teachescollege students how to navigate the tangled world of academic research. Anative of coastal Alabama, Manda lives in the house her mother grew up inwith two cats, two dogs, sometimes her sister, and always more books thanstrictly necessary.

Manda Collins recommends

A Murderous Business (2025)
(Harriman & Mancini Mystery, book 1)
Cathy Pegau
"With sharply drawn characters, a twisty mystery and a pair of sleuths as determined as they are intrepid, A Murderous Business is a charming and pitch perfect addition to my historical mystery keeper shelf. If I needed out of a jam in a hurry, I'd definitely call Rett and Margo and the gang."

Lady Charlotte Always Gets Her Man (2024)
Violet Marsh
"Writing with a combination of sweet romance and twisty mystery, Violet Marsh is a breath of fresh air."

Never Blow a Kiss (2024)
(Secret Society of Governess Spies, book 1)
Lindsay Lovise
"The kind of fast-paced, sexy historical romance I love to lose myself in."
