About the Author

J.A. (Joyce Anne) Schneider is a former staffer at
Newsweek Magazine, a wife, mom, and book lover. Words and story ideas are
always teeming in her head – “a colorful place!” she says. She loves thrillers…which
may seem odd, since she was once a major in French Literature - wonderful but
sometimes heavy stuff. Now, for years, she has become increasingly fascinated
with medicine and forensic science. Decades of being married to a physician who
loves explaining medical concepts and reliving his experiences means that
there’ll be medical angles even in “regular” thrillers that she writes. She
lives with her family in Connecticut.
