Kerryn Mayne is an Australian author and police officer known for her debut novel, "Lenny Marks Gets Away With Murder." Combining her professional experience with a flair for storytelling, Mayne crafts narratives that blend crime, humor, and relatable characters. Her work reflects a keen understanding of human nature, often infused with the wit and observational sharpness honed through her career in law enforcement.
Before becoming a published author, Mayne worked as a wedding photographer, a background that lends a distinct eye for detail to her writing.

A resident of Melbourne’s bayside suburbs, Mayne shares her home with her husband, four children, and an eccentric lovebird. Her fondness for J.R.R. Tolkien’s work is evident—she proudly owns 11 copies of "The Hobbit."
