A Matter of Trust

Nancy A. Hughes, a native of Key West who grew up in Pittsburgh, lives with her husband in south-central Pennsylvania. Following graduation from Penn State where she studied journalism, she spent years as a business writer, specializing in media, community, and public relations for small to midsize businesses. In recent years, Nancy turned her attention to murdering people-on paper, that is. Her focus is character-driven crime-solving mysteries, her subgenre being amateur sleuth. Her debut mystery novel, The Dying Hour, was released in 2016 by Black Opal Books. A Matter of Trust, the first in her Trust trilogy, followed in 2017, Redeeming Trust, also in 2017, and Vanished in 2018. Her latest book, The Innocent Hour was published by Black Opal in 2020. When she isn't writing, she is devoted to shade gardening, volunteering at the VA, and spending time with family and friends.
