I’m a USA Today bestselling crime fiction author and a big horse and sled dog enthusiast. I'm published by Bookouture and independently, and my books are translated into ten languages.
My hunky husband and I ride our beloved draft cross horses way up in the frozen north of Snowheresville, WY, where we run an off-the-grid lodge on the face of the Bighorn Mountains. We split time between there and our rustic cabin on Mooselookmeguntic (not a typo) Lake in Maine. And traveling the world—four months in Denmark, 16 months in France, weeks at a time on a catamaran. When I’m not writing, I’m passionate about wilderness sports (dog sledding, skijoring, bikejoring, hiking, camping, kayaking, canoeing, and... well, everything), always with bear spray, a mountain lion knife, and my Judge. NO ANIMALS HAVE BEEN HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS LIFE ADVENTURE (but don’t sneak up on me).
You can even rent our abodes, since we move around so much—I mean, why not?
I host the world-famous (possibly an overstatement) show, Crime & Wine, where I fangirl my favorite authors and interview them for your listening and viewing pleasure.
I’ve made some lists and won some awards, yada yada. Amazon Charts Top 25 bestseller. USA Today Bestseller. Amazon All Star. The Silver Falchion for Best Adult Mystery WINNER (Fighting for Anna), the WINNERS for USA Best Books Fiction: Cross Genre (Hell to Pay, Heaven to Betsy), and others. With books “in print” of over 3,000,000, readers seem to enjoy the books—I think they have exceptionally good taste. {insert goofy grin here} Lots of them follow my Crime & Wine show, too.

I also have a few children’s books. One featuring Poppy, the world’s best grandfather, and Petey, his blind Boston terrier. It's called Poppy Needs a Puppy. Another about a sad young dragon who wants a best friend, called George Finds a Friend. And I have nonfiction books about ... me... my family... parenting... pets... marriage... and more.

“Best book I’ve read in a long time!” — Kiersten Marquet, author of Three Reluctant Promises
4.7-star rating.

Many of you, like me, wrestle with the question of whether you “deserve” to be something. A parent. A computer scientist. An athlete. Or in my case, a writer. Whether I am a good enough writer. Whether I am really even a writer at all or just some Karin Slaughter wannabe.
It can be exhausting, right?
But it persists. I imagine snide comments from unseen naysayers: “So where do you get off, calling yourself a writer? You write for a digital publisher. You’re not a real writer unless your books...
Crime fiction—beloved to readers and authors alike and ever-evolving. I’ve written mystery, thriller, and suspense over the course of my career but most recently have found myself in the deep end of crime fiction. If you aspire to write the dark side yourself, here are some clues on what readers expect from killer crime fiction.
Most of you know that I create pitches for several books at a time in my series a year to three ahead of when I write the actual novels. By the time I write the books, the world has changed, my life has changed, and even the series has changed due to the books that have been finished and published in the series ahead of the one at hand.
And so it was with Her Burning Lies, in such a big, beautiful and even horrible way.
