A graveyard stone angel
A funny thing happened on her way to writing a serial killer novel.

Josephine took a page from the Thomas Harris playbook–The Silence of the Lambs author shadowed the FBI agent who’d become the Jack Crawford character–and went one better.

She attended a lecture given by a noted profiler–a psychologist who specialized in lust homicide and child predators, and discovered she had an aptitude for murder–investigations, that is.

The writing went on hold.

Josephine got her master’s in behavioral analysis and worked at the Medical Examiner’s Office. As the assistant to their forensic anthropologist, she saw dead people. She also cooked them.

Grim business, and nothing funny about it. But it was never not fascinating.

Years passed. Then the muse’s siren call beckoned her back to writing.

The Child Abduction Response Team series is a fictionalized account of the hard-earned courage it takes to become an investigator who specializes in missing child cases, crimes that sometimes result in a tragic end, albeit one mitigated by justice served.

A bridge shrouded in fog.
