About the author

Originally from the Appalachian region of Eastern Tennessee, Brenda now lives in Central Texas, near Austin. She began writing in junior high school where she wrote an admittedly hokey western serial to entertain her friends. Completing her graduate studies in Eastern European history in 1971, she worked as a graphic artist, a public relations specialist for the military and a display advertising specialist until she finally had to admit that her mother might have been right and earned her teaching certification. For the last twenty-plus years she has taught world history and political science.

Brenda and her partner, Cheryl, have four grown children and three grandchildren. Rounding out their home are three temperamental cats and two dogs.

When she is not writing Brenda creates stained glass and shoots pool at her favorite bar. She is looking forward to retirement in 2013 and a move back to Knoxville, Tennesse, and her roots.

No Sex😣... It is quite rare to find lesbian related novels that don't have some sexual action and yet still be interesting enough to read till the end. This did that and while the author makes room for us readers to come to assumed conclusions on the characters relationships we aren't also sure if there are. I liked it!
I'd like to also just say one bit of issue I had with this story was realising Susan's connection and feeling her story didn't sound believable.... She was an ambitious and brilliant undergrad law student and she couldn't realise to herself regardless of how drunk she was that she couldn't have been the one to have raped and killed the girl? Duh!

With a heavy focus on the mystery, Pipeline spends little time building up the relationships between the characters. It's full of action and intrigue but leaves something to be desired when it comes to the people caught in these intense situations.

This was an interesting read that kept me hooked until the end. I enjoyed the characters and the suspense. I think it could have used another ten to twenty pages at the end, but otherwise still a good story.
