about this author
Allison Brennan is the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of sixteen romantic thrillers and many short stories. RT Book Reviews calls Allison “a master of suspense” and her books “haunting,” “mesmerizing,” “pulse-pounding” and “emotionally complex.” Lee Child called her latest book “a world-class nail-biter,” and Lisa Gardner says, “Brennan knows how to deliver.” The third book in the Lucy Kincaid series, IF I SHOULD DIE, will be available on 11.22.11, followed by SILENCED in May 2012. Allison lives near Sacramento, California with her husband, five children, and assorted animals.
From Allison: "I grew up an only child--it was just me and my mom, though my grandparents lived nearby. I entertained myself by reading and making up my own stories. When I was 8, my favorite books were Trixie Belden. At 9, I graduated to Nancy Drew. By the time I was 10, I started reading my mom's extensive Agatha Christie collection. Unfortunately for me, there wasn't the wealth of YA books my teenage daughters enjoy today, so by the time I was 13 I graduated to Stephen King and never went back to kid books.
After college I thought I had to have a "real" job so I worked in the California State Legislature as a consultant. But I never stopped writing. I began over 100 books that I never finished. After turning 30, then giving birth to my third child, I decided if I wanted to pursue a career in writing, I needed to finish one of the many books I'd started. I wrote five complete manuscripts before I sold THE PREY, which became my debut novel published in January of 2006."
