About the author

I grew up on a farm in western New York. I currently live in central Iowa. I work in IT by day and train dogs and write books by night. I live with a Rottweiler, a German Pinscher and a lot of books.

I am a fan of flyover country, wide open spaces, weather, books, working dogs, gutsy heroines and steadfast heroes.

My first novel, Wide Open, was published by Tor on March 13, 2012. My second novel Deep Down is out March 5, 2013.

I read the sequel to this story last night, and I remain very drawn to this creepy urban fantasy world where unknown beings take the form of legends and myths, but no one wants to admit it. I want to see more of Beth and Paul, two oddly broken, misfit people who are mixed up with these monsters. It was neat to see things from Paul's perspective this time round as he's a bit more knowledgeable than Beth, and some of the mysteries of the other story were clarified a bit. But only a little. There's so much more that could be gleaned from this universe!

A look at the night Beth and Amy met Paul traveling through town. This explained their little, but harrowing adventure against the "not-wendigos". I really do wonder more though about these characters, who seem so guarded and stoic in their emotions. Will they ever open up more and either face these fears (or personal demons) they have?

This story really makes sense of "What Makes a River"
