Alyssa Maxwell is a renowned American author, celebrated for her historical mystery novels. She is best known for her series, the Gilded Newport Mysteries. Maxwell's fascination with Newport, a city in Rhode Island, began during her visits. The city's gas-lit neighborhoods and cobblestone lanes, along with the historical colonial homes, captivated her. This fascination deepened when she married into a historic Newport family, providing her with a wealth of historical discoveries and charm that is vividly reflected in her novels. Maxwell currently resides in Florida, but a part of her will always remain in Newport, the small town in New England that inspired her writing.
Born in Flushing, New York, Maxwell currently resides in South Florida. She has a unique fantasy of living in the post-World War I, Victorian, and Edwardian eras, often imagining herself wearing Worth gowns and taking care of her garden in her manor house. Maxwell's writing career took off with the success of her Gilded Newport Mysteries series, which consists of three suspenseful and thrilling novels. Her success has motivated her to complete another mystery series, A Lady and Lady's Maid Mysteries, with the initial novels scheduled to be released soon.
