USA Today bestselling author Rita Herron fell in love with books at the ripe old age of eight, when she read her first Trixie Belden mystery. Twenty years ago, she traded her job as a kindergarten teacher for one as a writer, and she now has more than ninety romance novels to her credit. She loves penning dark romantic suspense tales, especially those set in small Southern towns. Her awards include a Career Achievement Award from RT Book Reviews for her work in series romantic suspense, the National Readers’ Choice Award, and a RITA nomination. She has received rave reviews for the Slaughter Creek novels (Dying to Tell, Her Dying Breath, Worth Dying For, and Dying for Love), her Graveyard Falls novels (All the Beautiful Brides, All the Pretty Faces, and All the Dead Girls), and for Pretty Little Killers, the first book in The Keepers series. Rita is a native of Atlanta, Georgia, and a proud mother and grandmother.
