Ripley Hayes

I’m a lifelong mystery reader, and I write complex, fast-paced books with real-world characters (according to the reviews).

My characters are often from the LGBTQ+ community, because that’s where I’m from. Pronouns she/her.

I live in Wales, and Wales is a part of all my stories. It’s a little country, it rains a lot, but it’s very beautiful. And very low-crime.

Undermined - the first book in the Daniel Owen series is described as “A classic detective novel... with unique twists and turns ... a wonderful book” by Justene Adamec on the Queer Writers of Crime podcast.
