Elizabeth Ducie

After a thirty-plus year career as a technical writer and consultant, I gave it all up in my sixties to tell lies for a living. I am a Brummie who spent many years living in cities and large towns, but have now moved to a small semi-rural location in Devon where I see myself happily living out my days.

I write both fiction and non-fiction. My main fiction genre is currently cozy mysteries set in the fictional village of Coombesford; think Midsomer Murders set in south Devon. There are currently three in the series: Murder at Mountjoy Manor (2021), Villainy at the Village Store (2022), and Calamity at Coombesford Church (2023). The fourth part, Silenced at the Summer Social, will be published in time for the 2024 Christmas market.

I am also the author of the Jones Sisters thrillers, set in the sometimes murky world of international business. The fourth and final part, Retribution!, came out on 1st September 2024.

Finally, I write and teach on the topic of Author Business Foundations. I am a passionate believer in the legitimacy of self-publishing as an alternative to the more traditional routes, and I coach new indie authors through the first steps in the journey to publication.
