DL Mitchell is the author of the Coral Shores Veterinary Mystery series and  a 2024 Nominee for Georgia Author of the Year. Trust the Terrier won the 2024 Killer Nashville Silver Falchion award for best cozy and second runner up for best mystery.

 

She brings her unique perspective as a practicing small animal veterinarian to the world of mystery fiction. With experience in bustling, big-city hospitals, her transition to a house call concierge veterinary practice has enriched her storytelling with firsthand encounters and insights into the human-animal bond.

 

She loves spending time with her husband, daughter, and their menagerie of pets, planning the next travel adventure, and running nearby trails. She’s a scuba diver but gets seasick, and when she’s on the road, she travels with her espresso machine and her blow-up, stand up paddle board. ​

Actively engaged in the Atlanta Chapter of Sisters in Crime and the Atlanta Writers Club, DL Mitchell finds support and camaraderie within this creative community
