Biography

MB Austin lives with her fabulous wife in Seattle, an excellent town for coffee-powered writers who don’t need too much sun. Her Maji Rios thrillers feature a covert operator whose work intrudes on every attempt at vacation or romance. Look for MB’s first stand-alone novel, Independent Study in Revenge, by November of 2026. This dark academia, mid-pandemic mystery centers an over-50 lesbian lead reluctantly playing amateur sleuth in a town-vs-gown showdown.
