Marcy Lane

Marcy Lane writes the Eh! Team Mysteries, a character-driven Canadian mystery series set in Erie Bluff, a fictional Lake Erie town where everyone knows everyone—and almost everyone has something to hide.

Featuring an unlikely team of friends who refuse to accept easy answers, the series blends small-town intrigue, humour, friendship and the messy business of being human. Beneath the mysteries lie bigger questions about truth, justice, loyalty and the choices people make when life gets complicated.

Marcy's debut novel, A Mercy of Widows, draws on her experience of losing two life partners to cancer, exploring grief, assisted dying and family relationships through a courtroom drama. Her writing reflects a philosophy captured by Ann Patchett: “None of it happened and all of it’s true.” Rather than simply writing what she knows, Marcy writes about what she wants to understand.

An army brat who grew up across Canada, the UK and Germany, Marcy now lives on Lake Erie's north shore in Ontario, sharing a small cottage with her dogs and a she-shed overflowing with art supplies.

A late-blooming novelist, she discovered that making up other people's problems is considerably cheaper than golf.
