Although M. S. Spencer has lived or traveled on five of the seven continents, much of her life was spent in Washington, D.C. as a librarian, Congressional staff assistant, speechwriter, editor, non-profit director and parent. After many years in academia (attending Vassar, Princeton, American University in Cairo, Harvard, and University of Chicago), she worked for the U.S. Senate, the U.S. Department of the Interior, in several library systems, both public and academic, and at the Torpedo Factory Art Center. She holds a BA from Vassar College, a Diploma in Arabic Studies from the American University in Cairo, and Masters in Anthropology and in Library Science from the University of Chicago. She divides her time between Maine and Florida. All of this tends to insinuate itself into her works. Writing as M. S. Spencer, she has published sixteen best-selling murder mystery and contemporary romantic suspense novels. Her latest release is The Wishing Tree: Love, Lies, and Spies on Chincoteague Island.
