Gail Oust

Friends often accuse Gail Oust of flunking retirement. While working as a nurse/vascular technologist, Gail penned nine historical romances under the pseudonym Elizabeth Turner for Avon, Pocket, Berkley, and Kensington. It wasn’t until after she and her husband retired to South Carolina that inspiration struck for a mystery. Hearing the words “maybe it’s a dead body” while golfing with friends fired her imagination for the Kate McCall Mysteries. Gail is currently writing the Spice Shop Mysteries. When she isn’t reading, writing, or sleeping, she can usually be found on the golf course or hanging out with friends.
