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."
