Her books combine the elegance of European literature with the modern appeal of American culture. While she's a law graduate and professional target shooter, she prefers to spend her days spinning tales for her readers. In her downtime, she'd rather read or watch a classic movie than go to a noisy club.

My first published works were romance novels. Obviously, I don’t know a whole lot about that subject since I almost immediately ran out of whoopee positions. So, I left the romance genre for crime. Problem was I didn’t know anything about crime, either. I’ve never been in law enforcement, criminal law or robbed a bank. I was a mom and a really crappy employee at any number of really crappy jobs. Then I saw the movie Midnight Run and realized the main qualification needed for being a bounty hunter was lying. That seemed like a skill I could embrace, and ...more

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
― Rob Siltanen
