Multi-award-winning suspense author Leslie Marshman uses her psychology degree to get inside the heads of her characters and figure out what makes them tick. She writes novels that feature strong heroines, the heroes who love 'em, and the bad guys who fear 'em. Leslie called Denver home until she married a Texan without reading the fine print.

Justine Davis lives on Puget Sound in Washington State, watching big ships and the occasional submarine go by, and sharing the neighborhood with assorted wildlife, including a pair of bald eagles, deer, a bear or two, and a tailless raccoon. In the few hours when she's not planning, plotting, or writing her next book, her favorite things are photography, knitting her way through a huge yarn stash, and driving her restored 1967 Corvette roadster-top down, of course.
