Margaret Maron grew up on a farm near Raleigh, North Carolina, but for many years lived in Brooklyn, New York. When she returned to her North Carolina roots with her artist-husband, Joe, she began thinking about a series based on her own background and went on to write the first in a series of seven mystery novels set in North Carolina and featuring the adventures of Deborah Knott. Maron has been nominated for, and won, the Agatha Award for Best Novel and her first book was a Washington Post best-seller. She joins Bookwatch to discuss her seventh book in the Deborah Knott series, Storm Track.
