About the Author:
I began my life in Soldier Summit, Utah, a town of a few dozen people high in the mountains. My
father owned a cafe, a gas station, and a combination grocery-bar – literally half the businesses in town. Even a minnow can be a big fish if the pond is small enough. Though I have lived in the Midwest for most of my adult life, I still miss the mountains and dream that someday I’ll live there again.
I graduated from Knox College and the Iowa Writers Workshop at the University of Iowa. At present I teach composition at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, where I live with my husband, Joe, and our bird, Westie. Along with writing fiction, I spend my time reading, playing Scrabble at the local club, and riding my horse, Tucker.

“Despite the teenaged protagonists, this is an adult thriller, with violence on par with Thomas Harris, and not for the squeamish.” ~ D. Salerni, Amazon Review
