Nancy Famolari splits her time between her farm in the Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania and a smaller farm near Ocala, Florida. The Endless Mountains is a lovely rural area with many small towns dating from the early 1800's. This beautiful region provides the background for all the novels in the Montbleu Murder series, including Quarry. Quarrying is one of the major industries in the Endless Mountains, but now it is being replaced by gas well drilling.
