Celeste Bennett

Celeste Bennett did a lot of writing during her 28 years enforcing Consumer Protection laws for the State of Michigan, USA—all of it technical, legal, and boring to anyone not actively involved in weights and measures, and motor fuel quality.

When she retired from law enforcement and turned in her badge, she picked up her pen and melded her hobbies of yarn crafting and writing into a new cozy mystery book series. The Yarn Genie Mysteries follows the exploits of Imogene, a knitting agoraphobic, as she unwittingly becomes entangled in one murder after another.

Celeste uses her sense of humor, her science and enforcement background, and her love of creating and writing to bring her unique style to life—somewhat like Jessica Fletcher meets Stephanie Plum.
