How many times have you heard or read a news report that made you think, “You just can't make this stuff up. What could they possibly have been thinking?” Sometimes people make decisions that lead to unintended consequences simply because they want to take what they think is the easy way out or a shortcut to wealth or fame. I'm fascinated by this tendency, and it's the jumping off place for my fiction.

I’m a Kirkus Reviews critically acclaimed thriller author. I’m currently working on two series. The first features a husband and wife team of con artists, the Travelers, who specialize in stealing from other criminals. The Double Cross, The Traveling Man, The Computer Heist, The Blackmail Photos, The Freeport Robbery, The Kidnap Victim, The Murder Run, The Casino Switcheroo, Thicker Than Thieves, and The Dark Web Scam are out now. The second features a government operative, KD Thorne, who specializes in national security investigations. The Hunt for the Hijacked Nerve Agent and Murder at Mercy Creek are her first two cases.
