Jill Brock

Jill Brock, a native New Yorker and a graduate of York College began writing poetry and short stories in high school. She has been an avid reader since childhood. 

Majoring in Fine Arts and psychology, she turned toward the creative arts therapies for her career. Later, when she returned to her love of books and writing she decided she wanted to write a book. Several attempts and manuscripts later, she had written her first, Pennywise, loosely based on her experience of running a restaurant, being one of three sisters and growing up in Queens, New York. 

She began the Maggie and Odessa Mystery series because she wanted to reflect the multicultural world that surrounded her, her sense of humor and her love of mysteries. Currently, she has completed the fourth book in the series called, Chasing Cherry. 

She is a member of Sisters In Crime/New York Chapter
