Diese Autorin entdeckte ihre Leidenschaft für das Schreiben schon in jungen Jahren und schuf Geschichten mit grenzenlosem Enthusiasmus. Ihre frühen Versuche, obwohl von beliebten Werken abgeleitet, zeigten eine aufkeimende Fantasie und ein frühes Interesse an Genres wie Science-Fiction und Detektivgeschichten. Nach Jahren des Ausprobierens und der Unterbrechungen durch das Leben widmete sie sich dem Handwerk und entwickelte eine ausgeprägte Stimme in der Kriminalliteratur. Ihre fortlaufende Arbeit verspricht weitere fesselnde Erzählungen und faszinierende Mysterien für die Leser.
