Thanks for stopping by! What attracted you to the crime thriller genre?

I love crime thrillers! It's my favorite genre. I love police procedurals, action, forensics, and getting the bad guys. I love books in general, but I seem to gravitate toward the crime thriller genre.

Do you write in any other genres?

I don't write in other genres at this time—but I have an interest in historical and horror. My novels can cross lines with the genres of suspense, police procedurals, thriller, and crime.

What inspired you to write Silent Little Angels?

I've wanted to write a series about a cold case detective in a rural town in the California Mountains. I love writing about police investigations, cold cases, interesting forensic technology, and a trained K9. My interests and degrees are in police forensics and criminology. I've also trained with the police K9 and I have two German shepherds. All of these areas have pushed my inspiration to create this series.

Silent Little Angels is part of a series with Detective Katie Scott and K9 Cisco, but all books can easily be read as a stand-alone. She is a police officer and an Army veteran that comes home to her town where a little girl has been abducted. Secrets and unusual forensic evidence takes Katie on the toughest adventure yet.

Can you give us your book blurb so others can find out what Silent Little Angels is about?

The water ripples as the girl’s body escapes the reeds and floats silently upwards.

Her beautiful face—blue eyes frozen open, skin as white as snow—breaks the

surface. But it’s too late, this innocent soul has taken her final breath…

When camp counselor Carolyn Sable’s body is found floating in a lake beside Eagle

Ridge Summer Camp, Detective Katie Scott must dig deep to stay focused. As a

child, Katie spent many happy weeks at that camp toasting marshmallows on the

fire with her best friend Jenny… until the day Jenny disappeared. The loss will

always haunt Katie, but Carolyn’s inconsolable family need answers.

Searching the area, the devastating discovery of two more bodies sends the case into

a tailspin. Suddenly on the hunt for a serial killer, Katie’s blood turns to ice when

she finds newspaper clippings about her own past cases planted near one of the

bodies. Was this twisted killer banking on Katie taking the lead? And why?

Carolyn was adored by children and staff at the camp, so Katie thinks her sudden

resignation is key to cracking the case. Uncovering a tragic accident involving a

group of children in the weeks before Carolyn left, Katie knows she’s getting close.

But when the carefully laid trap Katie sets to catch Carolyn’s killer backfires, Katie

finds herself in unthinkable danger and unable to even trust her own team. Can she

stay alive long enough to crack the toughest case of her career, and how many more

innocent lives will be lost before she does?
