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 historial 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.
Previously an archivist at the International Criminal Tribunal for War Crimes in Yugoslavia, she now works at Library and Archives Canada, and is adjunct professor at the University of Ottawa.
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.
