Tea Shop Mysteries author Laura Childs always knew she wanted to be a writer. With an impressive résumé that included writing for TV and radio and opening her own ad agency, she decided to try writing fiction in the evenings and on weekends. After publishers rejected previous novels, she decided to take one more crack at it and wrote the first chapter and an outline for what would be her first Tea Shop Mystery, Death by Darjeeling. Laura felt that tea was not only timely, but had a warm, cozy feel that readers could appreciate. Her beloved character, the crime-solving Theodosia who owns a Charleston, South Carolina, tea shop, helped pave the way for more novels with tea as a recurring theme. The New York Times best-selling author has since written more than 40 novels, including 18 installments in the Tea Shop Mysteries. Her newest in that series, Plum Tea Crazy, will be released in March.
I look forward to each issue of TeaTime. Each issue is colorful, creative, and inspiring in addition to being about tea which I adore. Thank you‼️
