Maeve Kim has been an author since age 11, when she wrote a mystery in pencil, on a ruled school notebook. She has published several short stories and articles, but until this book her three and a half novels have been read only by friends.

Maeve started There's Nothing 86 Tonight over twenty-five years ago. When work demands increased to 60-80 hours a week, she put the story away—but the characters of Nick, Kim and Lydia continued to haunt her. When Maeve retired for the third time in June 2013, she dedicated herself toward finishing the book, revising and editing until one morning she thought, "I'm done. Ahhhhh". (From the author.)
