New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Allison Brennan believes that life is too short to be bored, so she had five children and writes three books a year.

In 2019, Allison relocated from Northern California to Arizona with her family and assorted pets. She loves baseball, hiking, family game night, and (of course) reading.

RT Book Reviews called Allison “a master of suspense” and her books “haunting,” “mesmerizing,” “pulse-pounding” and “emotionally complex.” She's been nominated for many awards, and is a three time winner of the Reviewer's Choice award winner for RT Book Reviews as well as the Daphne du Maurier award. Most recently, she was nominated for Best Paperback Original by International Thriller Writers.

Thank you Michelle!

Yes, there are two new Lucy Kincaid books coming out next year. BEST LAID PLANS will be out on August 4, 2015 and NO GOOD DEED will be out October 27, 2015. We only had one Lucy book out this year because I launched the new Max Revere series last year, and I wanted a little time earlier this year to finish my Seven Deadly Sins supernatural thriller series (MORTAL SIN, which is out next month.) BUT next year will have one Max book and two Lucy books!

Thanks so much for writing.(less)

SEVEN GIRLS GONE: The Story Behind the Story

... One reason I write mystery thrillers is because I have always craved answers to universal questions. How can people be cruel to others? How can one person hurt, maim, kill another person without remorse? How can families and friends survive such a loss? How do relatives of a killer feel, think, believe?
