Life in the Tropics can be Murder!
Life in San Francisco was getting too expensive, too hectic, and too crowded, so when recently divorced Dana Kirkpatrick inherited a beach house to die for in a small coastal beach town in Costa Rica she took it as a sign and she packed her bags! What could go wrong?

About Me
K.C. Ames
I was born and raised in Costa Rica. My father was an American (from Minnesota) and my mother is from Costa Rica. I enjoy writing cozy mysteries set in the beautiful Guanacaste Province.
I now live in bustling San Francisco, California with my family and three little dogs dreaming of small beach town living.
I try to make it back home often to visit my family and to get inspired with new mysteries to write!
