    I have led an unexpected life. Grew up in the city, married a cowboy and moved to a remote west Texas ranch. Raised my two amazing children in the country with horses and dogs and cats and wild animals, but at the same time, traveled the country researching crime novels with law enforcement officers of all types and speaking to writers about our craft. An independent and unabashed feminist who opposed the Iraq war, I still stayed married for more than 30 years to the same wonderful man and sent my son to fight with the Marines in Iraq twice. Both my kids are strong and independent too, and remain my biggest fans; they are the accomplishment of which I am most proud, even after publishing eleven books. My daughter pursued her craft, acting, in London, New York, and now, L.A. And I’m still married to the same sexy cowboy.1 Articles
