About J.C. Eaton
Ann I. Goldfarb, writing as J.C. Eaton, spent most of her life in the classroom before taking on the role of a middle school principal and professional staff developer. With enough fodder from her middle school target audience, she wrote a number of YA time travel mysteries before acquiescing to her late husband, who wanted to coauthor cozy mysteries with her. With nothing to lose, other than her marriage, she agreed. Now, four series later, she can relax. That is, when she isn’t busy cleaning up after her demanding cat and spoiled Chihuahuas!
She has authored the Sophie Kimball Mysteries (Kensington and Beyond the Page), the Wine Trail Mysteries (Kensington Lyrical and Beyond the Page), The Charcuterie Shop Mysteries (Level Best Books), and the Marcie Rayner Mysteries (Camel/Epicenter Publishing).
