Q:
What’s inside the mind of someone who writes crime thrillers?
There's just too much going on in the mind of a crime thriller author! At least for me, most of my days I'm devising ways of killing characters, unusual crime scenes, and how my detective will ultimately find the killer.
Q:
What (or who) inspires you to write crime thrillers?
Everything going on around me I find inspirational. We seem to live in a fast paced world with so much to draw from for a writer. Much of my stories are my imagination, but sometimes, the inspiration comes from headlines or cold cases.
Q: What makes a good crime thriller?
Sometimes the term "thriller" seems to morph into other genres, such as crime, suspense, mystery, and just a pinch of romance. I like the combination of all those genres with a fast paced story, cat and mouse, hold your breath, and to be always rooting for the detective. That to me makes a great crime thriller.
Q: Tell us why readers should buy LAST GIRLS ALIVE?
If you love thrillers with a strong police
procedural, you will love Last Girls Alive. And for an added bonus the heroine,
Detective Katie Scott, ex-army veteran, fighting PTSD, has her trusty K9 with
her. Detective Scott heads the cold case unit and her cases seem to stoke up
the stakes and land her in some very precarious predicaments. She had a great
partner, Deputy Sean McGaven, who always has her back.
When Detective Katie Scott is
called to the discovery of a young girl buried on the grounds of a former
children’s home in Pine Valley,
California, Katie assumes the victim is Candace Harlan, who ran away
from Elm Hill Manor five years ago. It would be a devastating end to the cold
case Katie’s been working on. But the girl in the ground is not Candace.
Katie must dig deep to confront her own fears and protect the vulnerable – but as the body count rises further, will there be anyone left to save?
Q: Where can readers find out more about you and your work?

Half-buried in the muddy earth and surrounded by puddles of water lies the naked body of a beautiful young girl. Her pale skin looks like porcelain in the early morning light. Her fragile arms bent and crooked like a broken doll.
When Detective Katie Scott is called to the discovery of a young girl buried on the grounds of a former children’s home in Pine Valley, California, she’s hopeful it’s the end to a devastating cold case she’s been working on. No one has seen Candace Harlan since she ran away from Elm Hill Manor five years ago. Her death will be a tragedy, but it will also bring peace to those who miss her most. But the girl in the ground is not Candace.
The victim is almost identical to Candace in every way, but fear grips Katie as she takes in the black ink that decorates the girl’s back—a terrifying message tattooed on her skin after she drew her last breath.
Forcing down traumatic memories of losing her own parents, Katie is certain someone mistook this poor soul for Candace, and that this crumbling home for lost girls is at the heart of this terrible crime. She sets to work digging into the tragic history of the owners who lost so many children of their own and tracking down the last six residents and the staff who cared for them—but no one wants to talk, let alone remember.
The next day, as second girl’s body is found down by the creek at high water, the same words etched into her skin. Katie’s worst fear is confirmed: someone is picking off the last of the Elm Hill girls one by one. But what does the tattoo mean? And what monster would target these innocent girls who have already been through so much?
Katie must dig deep to confront her own fears and protect the vulnerable—but as the body count rises further, will there be anyone left to save?
An absolutely gripping, dark, and totally unputdownable serial killer thriller that will keep you racing through the pages all night long. Fans of Lisa Regan, Rachel Caine and Melinda Leigh will read in one sitting!
