A breast cancer survivor and accidental almost-vegan who adores cooking, she lives with her husband in Northern California.

Praise for The Raven Thief "Excellent. . . Pandian's clever solution matches the challenge she sets for her endearingly imperfect lead. This brilliant homage to classic golden age authors such as John Dickson Carr augurs well for a long series run." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Tempest applies her knowledge of the tricks of the trade to the puzzle of Corbin's death, highlighting the howdunit as much as the whodunit." -Kirkus Reviews "A compelling locked-room mystery populated by well-drawn characters and framed by books, food, and magic." -Booklist "Genre fans will appreciate Pandian's many nods to golden age mysteries and their writers, and there are even some delectable recipes at the book's end." -BookPage "Thrilling. . . This plot is as carefully constructed as the classic mystery novel-themed interior it revolves around." -San Francisco Book Review "Pandian presents us with a tight knit, quirky cast anyone would want to follow - and Tempest herself is a force to be reckoned with." -Aunt Agatha's "A true standout. . . Pandian has done it again: The Raven Thief conjures up the perfect balance of magic, mystery, and mayhem. I couldn't stop reading!" --Juliet Blackwell "An enchanting locked room mystery with a delightfully unique premise." --Elle Cosimano "Both Pandian and her protagonist, Tempest Raj, are forces to be reckoned with." --Mia P. Manansala Praise for Under Lock & Skeleton Key "Wildly entertaining. . . [Tempest Raj] is fully realized, a brilliant and talented young woman." --The New York Times Book Review
