Amy Tector has spent more than 20 years at Canada's national archives plumbing the secrets squirrelled away in the vaults. Amy’s debut novel, The Honeybee Emeralds is a clever historical treasure hunt set in Paris and was a finalist for the Indie Book Award Best – First Novel. Her second novel, The Foulest Things, was a finalist in the Crime Writers of Canada awards and is the first in the Dominion Archives Mysteries – stories centered on murder and mayhem in the archives.

Amy has a PhD in English literature from the Université Libre de Bruxelles and lives in Ottawa, Canada with a daughter named Violet, a husband named Andrew, and a dog named Daffodil. She is an enthusiastic, but incompetent, cross-country skier.
