Maree Cemini Church

Maree Church is the author of Dog Days in Italy: How I Became an Expat Dog,

a quirky memoir of her twenty-year love affair with Italy, the homeland of

her grandparents. She has also written middle grade books, children's books,

and her latest endeavor is a cozy mystery series, The Glass Ceiling Club.

Before starting her writing career, Ms. Church wore many hats (and she has

left them in restaurants all over Italy). She has been a business

consultant, small business owner, wine importer, English teacher, and

kitchen staff to many pets of all types. When she isn't writing, she's

taking care of her dogs, baking bread, working jigsaw puzzles, keeping in

touch with doggy friends on social media, or preparing for visits from her

son and his young boys who were the inspiration for The Book of Mysteries

Trilogy. She lives in California with her husband and two crazy pups.
