| When people discover Misty is an author, they assume her books are children’s stories. A student in one of her creative writing classes once stated, “I can’t believe you write suspense. You seem so nice.”
What they don’t realize is underneath Misty’s girl-next-door façade beats the heart of a kick-butt heroine. As a young girl, she forced her friends to act out scenes from her favorite adventure stories—Alice in Wonderland and the Wizard of Oz. At nine years old, she applied to be one of Charlie’s Angels. She’s still waiting by the phone for Charlie’s call.
These days she forces her characters, instead of her friends, to act out the adventures in her head. Her kick-butt heroines face heart-stopping danger and suicidal odds whether they’re bringing justice to all or simply clicking their leather boots together to find their way home. Misty bases her female characters on the stuff Alice, Dorothy and the Angels were made of: girl-next-door facades with the heart of a kick-butt (but always nice) heroine.
Ready to spring into action if Charlie should call, Misty meanwhile cultivates her nice girl persona in Illinois with her husband Mark, her twin sons Sam and Ben, and her big dog Max. She writes the award-winning Super Agent Series and Witches Anonymous series. Her debut novel, Operation Sheba, Super Agent Series Book 1, won the CataNetwork Reviewers’ Choice Award in 2008, a CAPA nomination in 2009, and the New England Reader’s Choice Bean Pot Award for Best Romantic Suspense in 2010. Operation Sheba was the number one Kindle Romantic Suspense book and a Top 10 Kindle bestseller for over a month in 2010. I’d Rather Be In Paris, the second book in her Super Agent Series, was nominated for a 2009 CAPA for Best Romantic Suspense, and along with the third book in the series, Proof of Life, remained in the Top 100 Kindle bestsellers for several months during 2010.
Misty is currently at work on the next books in both her series. She likes her coffee black, her conspiracy stories juicy, and her wicked characters dressed in couture.
