About the author

Carol Potenza taught biochemistry at New Mexico State University before transitioning to a full-time mystery writer. Her first book was the Tony Hillerman Prize winner, Hearts of the Missing, followed by The Third Warrior and Spirit Daughters, the second and third book in the Nicky Matthews mystery. She's writes two other mystery series: the De-extinct Zoo Mysteries, and the Lies series.Carol loves the combination of strong women sleuths, paranormal and murder mystery, mixed with science or, as she likes to call it-BiocheMystery. She sets all her books in the beautiful state of New Mexico, where she lives with her husband, Leos, and her extremely grumpy chihuahua, Hermès. You can visit her at www.carolpotenza.com and on Instagram and Facebook at @carolpotenzaauthor. Jordyn Kross is an award-winning unapologetically naughty author of erotic cozy mysteries and romance. After years of writing tech manuals and marginal poetry, she discovered that she much prefers writing about fictional characters who will go to any lengths to get their happily ever after and bring the villain to justice.When she's not writing, she can be found attempting to garden in the desert Southwest, hiking with her insane pound posse, and admiring that handsome man wandering around her house who continues to stay.And when she's not in social media jail, she can be found on Facebook, Instagram, and Goodreads, or hiding in a dark cave peering out at Twitter. Erin Krueger is the author of seven stories and an avid reader of mystery novels ever since she picked up her very first Nancy Drew as a child. Hooked by carefully woven plots and sneaky sleuths, there's always an element of intrigue or espionage in her works. As far as she knows, she's not related to the fiendish villain with the same last name, but the DNA's still out. Ryley Banks writes award-winning and bestselling sexy romance, mostly of the LGBTQ+ variety. She's a connoisseur of tea and gin and loves language, especially creative profanity. Her alter ego is an evil editing genius who thrives on making words bleed. When Ryley's not begging her characters to behave or reading fanfic (or watching a great mystery-but don't ask her whodunit since she's just along for the ride), you can find her crafting the next story to make you smile and set you on fire.
