Gillian Larkin is a bestselling author of mystery novels, hailing from the United Kingdom. Her love for mystery stories began at a young age, as she was particularly fond of Agatha Christie's novels and Hercule Poirot. She was also captivated by the television series "Murder, She Wrote," which further fueled her passion for the genre. Larkin's home in Yorkshire, England, provides the perfect backdrop for her writing, and she is often joined by her two daughters, who are understanding of her passion for mystery shows.

Larkin became a published author in 2013, with the release of "Virtually Scared to Death," the first book in the Julia Blake Cozy Mystery series. Since then, she has authored over ten series and published an omnibus, "Mystery Stories-Selection Box Set," in 2016.

She encourages others to pursue their passions, regardless of how long they may have waited to do so. Larkin's work is a testament to the power of perseverance and the joy that can come from following one's dreams.
