Emily Kendricks is a romantic crime fiction and member of the AIA. She grew up in the smoggy steel town of Pittsburgh and consumed mystery and suspense novels on weekends. By the time she entered Pennsylvania State University (where she majored in Law Enforcement and Corrections) she was a vertitable crime novel junkie.

Kendricks married and relocated to New York City, a place no softer than her hometown in PA, but she found a real home, family, and a desire to concentrate on developing strong but sexy female characters for her crafty suspense novels.
