About Wren Halloway

Wren Halloway writes mysteries set on the fictional Lamplighter's Coast, a stretch of islands where the lighthouses keep more than ships safe.

She grew up above a ship chandlery in a harbour town, worked for nine years as an archivist, and still cannot pass a box of old letters without opening it. The Salt Ledger, her first novel, began with a real lighthouse keeper's account book she found in a council archive.

She lives with her partner, two cats and an unreasonable number of maps.
