Avery Aames is a pseudonym for the American author Daryl Wood Gerber, who is known for her cozy mystery novels. She writes the Cheese Shop Mysteries series under the name Avery Aames and the Cookbook Nook Mysteries series under her real name. Before becoming a novelist, Gerber wrote screenplays and created the sitcom "Out of This World." She also made an appearance on the television series "Murder, She Wrote."
As Avery Aames, Gerber has gained popularity for her bestselling A Cheese Shop Mystery Series. She has written some of the nation's bestselling books and has gained recognition from readers and authors alike. In the past, women were rarely taken seriously as series writers, but Aames' determination and passion for writing have led her to create some of the most widely accredited masterpieces in the genre. Aames' writing is not only enjoyed by her readers but also admired for the sense of adventure that she brings to her stories.
Gerber, who also writes as Avery Aames, is not one to simply read and cook. She is always looking for adventure and has even hitchhiked around Ireland by herself and jumped out of a perfectly good airplane. In addition to the Cheese Shop Mysteries and Cookbook Nook Mysteries, Gerber writes short stories, suspense novels, and the French Bistro Mysteries. Her novel "The Long Quiche Goodbye" won the Agatha Award for "Best First Novel."
