Fleur Bradley Visscher has loved mysteries ever since she first picked up an Agatha Christie book at the age of eleven. She's the author of middle-grade mysteries Daybreak on Raven Island and Midnight at the Barclay Hotel (Viking/PRH), and the Double Vision trilogy (HarperCollins), as well as numerous non-fiction titles for the educational market. Fleur started her writing journey many years ago, writing short crime fiction, and still enjoys writing in the short form.
Most recently, her work has appeared in the MWA anthology Super-Puzzletastic Mysteries, SCBWI's The Haunted States of America (a story representing Colorado). How to Teach Yourself to Swim, originally published in Dark Yonder, was recently chosen for The Best Mystery Stories of the Year 2024 anthology. Fleur's work has been nominated for the Agatha and Anthony Award and has won the Colorado Book Award and Colorado Authors League Book Award, among others. A reluctant reader herself, Fleur is also a literacy advocate and speaks at events on how to reach reluctant readers.
Originally from the Netherlands, she now lives in a small cottage in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies where she fosters rescue animals.
