About The Author

K.C. Ames

I was born and raised in Costa Rica. I now live in San Francisco, California, but my entire family (mother, siblings, nephews, etc.) still lives there, so I try to get down there often to visit and to get inspired with new stories to tell.

The Costa Rica Beach Cozy Mysteries is a series of books set in the coastal beach community of Mariposa Beach. The town is a figment of my imagination… however, if you visit any of the small seaside towns you find in the Guanacaste Province’s Nicoya Peninsula, you’ll get the vibe of Mariposa Beach.

Check out this fun beach cozy mystery series set in Costa Rica available now!
