Peele, Amy S.: - Amy S. Peele is the award-winning best-selling author of Cut and Match, medical mysteries with a mission and a side of humor. Originally from Chicago, she went to nursing school, fell in love with the field of transplant at University of Chicago, and then moved to San Francisco in 1985 to follow her transplant career. After thirty-five years she retired from her role as Director of Clinical Operations at UCSF, overseeing 600 solid organ transplants annually, in 2014. She studied improv at Second City Players to add levity to her intense day job. Transplantation and organ and tissue donation are in her DNA and always make their way into her mysteries. Amy loves to speak, swim, teach chair yoga, mediate, and kill the people she didn't like from work in her mysteries and use their organs--why waste the kill? She lives in Novato, CA.
