April Henry
I got the idea in April 2012 when a friend told us her teen was a volunteer with Multnomah County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue. Not only does MCSOSAR look for people lost in the woods, but they also recover bodies and they do crime scene evidence searches and they are a teen-led organization. The more I learned, the more I was sure I had found what I had long sought: a realistic hook for a teen mystery series. People in MCSO SAR were so helpful to me in researching and writing. The teens who volunteer for it undergo an incredible amount of training, including every Wednesday and one weekend a month. I attended several of their sessions.

Hi April, I really enjoy all your books. I have been told its weird to read and weird to like murder mysteries books. How do you feel about that? I just tell people whatever, at least I know how to do something besides stare at a phone for 24/7. I just wanted to let you know because I have inspired about 15 different people so far to read your books. I hope you are well and healthy. Sincerely, Savanna Wright
