M.A. Simonetti was born in Bermuda and raised in California, which explains why she is happiest with her toes in the sand.  She currently divides her time between the beaches of SoCal and the Sonoran Desert.

THE MALIBU MYSTERY SERIES

The Malibu Mysteries follow the adventures of Alana Fox-a Woman of a Certain Age who is divorced and blissfully childless. Alana has access to Malibu's most exclusive shindigs. She provides guidance (for a fee, of course) to those wishing to expand their social circle. Those who follow her advice enter the world of Who is Who. Those who ignore her advice are out seven grand and sit home alone on Saturday nights.

Alana's role as the Gatekeeper to Malibu's Social Scene is more dangerous than you might think.
