About the author

I'm Hope Walker, a stay at home mother who resides in Washington state with my husband and my daughter. When I'm not writing, I'm taking care of animals on our small farm located in Snohomish County in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I enjoy watching our chickens and ducks on our farm run and play. There's something funny about watching flightless birds run. If you've never seen it, you should.
I'm busy with my daughter's activities in school, sports, and Girl Scouts. I also help out with the Parent Group at my daughter's school.

I'm recently learning how to pencil time in for myself, by taking up running. I ran my first 5K this year, and will hopefully be doing more in the future. I'm also taking up writing and finally succeeding in my childhood dream of becoming a published author.

I enjoy writing suspense, thriller, horror, with a taste of romance, maybe even a little erotica for a paragraph or two.

I hope my first stories will be the beginning of a climactic, thrilling friendship! ​

Thank you for stopping by,

Hope Walker

Fantastic story!

This was a good quick read. I've read 2 of Hope's books and there is always a twist you don't see coming.
