A college administrator for over twenty years, Heath P. Boice knows about college life. He takes this experience and uses it as the foundation for his unique style of cozy mysteries. His debut book in the Ocean Grove mystery series, Missing by the Midway, introduces readers to the ins and outs of the fictitious and enigmatic campus of Asbury College in Ocean Grove, New Jersey. Heath has received both regional and national recognition for his professional work in college administration, boasting over 50 publications and convention presentations on topics including: Careers and Wellness, Judicial Affairs, Peer Mentorship, and Customer Service in Higher Education. This has led him to a successful career as a college dean and administrator at both private and public schools, most recently as the Interim Senior Vice President for Student Affairs and Associate Vice President for Student Affairs at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).    

Heath holds a BA in Public Communications (radio/television) and a MS Ed in College Student Personnel and Counseling from the College of Saint Rose in Albany, New York. He also holds a Doctorate in Education from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey.
