Graphologist and novelist Sheila Lowe was born in Britain, moved to the United States in 1964, and heads the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation as president. Her handwriting guide in the Complete Idiot's Guides series became a bestseller. Poison Pen (2007) launched the Claudia Rose Forensic Handwriting Mysteries through Capital Crime Press, earned a starred Publishers Weekly review, and led New American Library to publish the first four books. Lowe also writes the Beyond the Veil Mystery series, and the 22 titles reach The Lies Between the Lines (2026).
