Although she writes mostly mystery, she has co-authored a historical\/women&#8217;s fiction novel with author and friend, Kathryn Dionne, under the pen name Kathryn Longino. Currently she is working on several cozy mystery series, including the Logan Dickerson Cozy Mystery Series which was an Amazon #1 International Best Seller and soon-to-be released Normal Junction Paranormal Cozy Mystery Series.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">A former lawyer and college professor, Abby has a bachelor&#8217;s degree in Economics, a master&#8217;s in Public Administration, and a Juris Doctor.
