  • I adored the Hardy Boys series.
  • Walter Farley was my favorite author when I was in grade school.
  • Even though I write romantic suspense novels, I’m afraid of EVERYTHING.
  • I love fake crime shows, like Criminal Minds and NCIS. But I CAN’T watch shows about real crimes or even read true crime books (they creep me out).
