Lucy Bishop

Lucy Bishop writes cozy mysteries rooted in craft, community, and the quiet tensions of small-town life. Her stories center on makers, artisans, and observant people who notice what others overlook, where patience and persistence matter more than bravado.

With a background in literary study and teaching, she brings a close reader’s attention to language, structure, and character. Her Knot House series follows Paisley Brockenhurst, a woodworker and former academic whose curiosity has a habit of uncovering more than she intends.

When she isn’t writing, Lucy can usually be found surrounded by books, tools, and half-finished projects, paying close attention to the small, telling moments that shape a life.
