Are
you a morning writer or a night writer?
Both. I try to write most mornings, but I find I get
distracted with phone calls, household chores, and promotional stuff so many
days I write at night.
2.
Do
you outline or are you a pantster?
I’m an outliner because, for me, it’s my basic story roadmap.

3.
Which
comes first – plot or character?
For my Emily Stone Thriller Series, character comes first and
then the building of plot and her adventures.

Noise

Favorite
TV show?
There are a few TV shows that I like, but one of my favorites
would be Psyche. Sometimes after writing crime fiction, I need to laugh.

In winter, I love my small, quiet office and in the

Anything Italian.

BOOK
BLURB:
What happens when one California
community has a disturbing spike in homicides? It catapults cops into a deadly
game of murder. Frozen human body parts hideously displayed at the crime scenes
offers a horrifying interpretation that only a sadistic serial killer could
design—and execute.
On the hunt for a complex serial killer, vigilante detective Emily Stone must face her most daring case yet. Stone’s proven top-notch profiling skills and forensic expertise may not be enough this time.
Young and ambitious, Detective Danny Starr, catches the homicide cases and discovers that it will test everything he knows about police work and the criminal mind. Can he handle these escalating cases or will the police department have to call in reinforcements—the FBI.
Emily Stone’s covert team pushes with extreme urgency to unravel the grisly clues, while keeping their identities hidden from the police. With one last-ditch effort, Stone dangles someone she loves as bait to draw out the killer. She then forces the killer out of their comfort zone with her partner Rick Lopez, and with help from a longtime friend Jordan Smith. A revelation of the serial killer’s identity leaves the team with volatile emotions that could destroy them.
The killer continues to taunt and expertly manipulate the police, as well as Stone’s team, and as they run out of time—they leave behind everyone and everything—in Dead Cold.
