About the author

I began writing at the age of eight and wrote my way through the lean years before I found success as New York Times' bestselling author with my first novel GARDEN OF LIES. To date I have published 19 novels and a cookbook. Every life experience I've weathered has found its way into my novels in one form or another: bad exes, births, deaths, divorces, romances, and even true crime. My heroines are like me: tough cookies who don't crumble.

My latest novel, Book One of my Gold Creek series, ALL THEY NEED TO KNOW, is the story of a woman fleeing her abusive ex who finds refuge in a small California mountain town, where she's befriended by a group of women who call themselves The Tattooed Ladies and reinvents herself as a police sketch artist. Kyra "draws lines to stop crimes," as they say in the biz, never imagining she'll one day be forced to confront the biggest criminal of all: her ex.

I'm married to former entertainment reporter Sandy Kenyon and the mother of two grown children. We live in Sacramento, California, where we remodeled a 1940's house for which I was the on-site project manager. Fortunately, multi-tasking is my superpower, so I was able to write a book and supervise a home remodel at the same time. The latter is sure to find its way into a future book. Follow me on Instagram and Facebook to see pics of my home remodel and other adventures.

Definitely could have been two books 😂 The person I guessed early on was whodunnit. I feel on the whole there could have been a lot more murder! But perhaps I was spoiled by the epic My Bloody Valentine. On the plus side, Eileen Gouge replied to me on Instagram so my month is complete.

Fitting conclusion to a series that could’ve been stretched to three novels, instead of four. Not a terribly climactic ending and there’s some filler scenes that don’t really propel the plot along any quicker, but still a decent series overall.

There were a few decent moments but honestly this series could have easily been a trilogy.

OKAY WAITTT I actually really enjoyed this series. The books def could’ve been condensed, especially considering there were four books each around 200 pages, but this book specifically was so good. A lot of the stuff was predictable but when it really came down to it, I enjoyed the twist.

I’m not really sure what was going on with Lacey in the bathroom near the end, and tbh that’s what made me dock it a star. Everything was tied up really nicely and then the added aspect of another attacker just made things a bit confusing.
