K.G. Whitehurst holds a PhD in early modern (1485-1815) British history and writes historical crime fiction.  Her principal sleuth is the Lord Lieutenant and custos rotulorum of the county of Stafford. These positions make him the chief magistrate and allow him to preside over the Quarter Sessions, which handled both legal matters, civil and criminal, and county administration, including begging licenses and road repair. Yes, the past is a foreign country.

She has blogged about historical fiction at DIYMFA.com and continues to review mystery and thrillers for Kings River Life Literary Journal (online) and crime and science fiction through BookSirens. In addition to blogs and reviews, she writes crime flash fiction and nonfiction articles on writing. 

She lives with her husband, three naughty cats, and over a hundred houseplants in a too-large house. You can sign up to get updates about her writing here.
