Christine S. Cowan is a mystery novelist, artist and retired English teacher and school counsellor whose writing is shaped by a lifelong interest in how people think and behave. She holds a Master’s degree in psychology from the University of British Columbia, a foundation that influences her character-driven approach to storytelling. Based in North Vancouver, she balances writing with time spent with her grandchildren, reflecting on a life enriched by travel and a deep curiosity about the inner lives we rarely reveal.
