Canadian award-winning author, Gloria Ferris, began her writing career by writing and editing operating procedures for a nuclear power development. It was an exciting job, but opportunities for plot and character development were limited. So she turned to crime fiction and found it to be a lot more fun. Gloria returned to her native Guelph, Ontario after spending twenty-five years in Kincardine and Port Elgin, small lakeshore towns which inspire her mysteries.

​

Gloria is the author of the Cornwall & Redfern mysteries (Corpse Flower; Shroud of Roses; coming soon...Grave Blooms), which feature serious crimes and far-from-serious protagonists. She is also the co-author of the Blair & Piermont suspense series (Targeted; and coming soon...Death's Footprint) with Donna Warner.

​

When not writing, Gloria works on character profiles, researches plotlines, reads continuously, and is often heard to mutter, “I wish I’d written that!” She is a member of the Crime Writers of Canada, the International Thriller Writers, and the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi).
