Gail Oust

Gail Oust is an American author of cozy mystery novels as well as historical romance novels (as Elizabeth Turner). She writes the Bunco Babes Mysteries (ft. Kate McCall) and the Spice Shop Mysteries series. Throughout her life, Gail and her long-time husband, Bob, have lived in Chicago, upstate New York and the Detroit suburbs. Following a move to a small South Carolina town that is reminiscent of Kate McCall’s hometown, Gail switched from historical romances to cozy mysteries. Being that she has enjoyed mysteries ever since she was a young girl reading Nancy Drew, the switch was not a difficult one for her.
