In Memory of Darcy Scott (1952–2022) Award-winning author Darcy Scott (Best Mystery, 2013 Indie Book Awards; Silver Award, 2013 Readers’ Favorite Book Awards; Bronze Award, 2013 IPPY Awards) was a live-aboard sailor and experienced ocean cruiser who had sailed to Grenada and back on a whim, island-hopped through the Caribbean, and been struck by lightning in the middle of the Gulf Stream. For all her wandering, her summer home and favorite cruising grounds remained along the coast of Maine, where she plied the waters for more than two decades—the history and rugged beauty of its sparsely populated out-islands serving as inspiration for much of her fiction, including 2015’s acclaimed Margel’s Madness and her popular Island Mystery Series (Matinicus, Reese’s Leap, and Ragged Island). We are honored to have published Darcy’s titles, and her joyful presence will be missed at Maine Authors Publishing and in the wider literary community.
