The speaker at our Feb 9th meeting will be Allison Brennan, author of Fiction, Romance, and Suspense, and a New York Times and USA Today bestseller.

Allison is the author of twenty-four novels and many short stories. A former consultant in the California State Legislature, she lives in Northern California with her husband Dan and their five children.

Crime fiction, mysteries, and romantic suspense have always been Allison’s favorites, so it’s no surprise that her romantic thrillers have a dark suspense edge. Reviewers have called her books “terrifying,” “mesmerizing,” “fast-paced,” “pulse-pounding,” “wonderfully complex,” “layered,” and “a master of suspense – tops in the genre.” As Lisa Gardner says, “Brennan knows how to deliver.”

Allison is currently writing the Lucy Kincaid series about a rookie FBI agent. The eighth book, DEAD HEAT, is on sale now. BEST LAID PLANS will be out on August 4, 2015. Also, she’s thrilled to be writing a second series, this time featuring investigative reporter Maxine Revere. NOTORIOUS was released last year in hardcover and is now available in paperback. COMPULSION will be out on April 7, 2015.

Sandra Brown said, “Brennan’s NOTORIOUS introduces readers to a new and fascinating heroine worth rooting for. She’s an investigative reporter who’s not afraid to kick butt, climb a tree, or go to jail in pursuit of her story. She’s savvy and smart and takes no prisoners. Buckle up and brace yourself for Maxine Revere.” And about COMPULSION, Catherine Coulter said, “Don’t miss Max Revere’s roller-coaster new thriller. Talk about grit and courage, Max never gives up.”
