G G Collins loves the southwestern US where many of her stories are located. She can be found hiking through ruins of the ancient ones and enjoying New Mexican cuisine. When not traipsing about, she makes up stories with great friendships, quirky characters and, oh yeah, dead bodies. In real life she shares her time with a man, several neurotic—and psychic—cats and the ongoing struggle to grow a garden.

About her books: Inspired by the American southwest, its many cultures and Native American traditions, GG Collins writes two mystery series set in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Whether you enjoy chilling paranormal mysteries/thrillers or cozy cat-inhabited puzzles, Collins delivers. The Rachel Blackstone Paranormal Mysteries are infused with shamans, power animals and spirits while being grounded in contemporary issues and events. Rachel often finds she becomes part of the stories she reports while trying to avoid becoming the headline. The Taylor Browning Cozy Mysteries are more time-honored. Taylor, a mystery editor at a book publisher, does a little sleuthing on the side. She finds she can’t edit her way out of real murder.

Kristen Elise, Ph.D. is the author of The Katrina Stone Novels - a best-selling series of medical and historical thrillers including The Vesuvius Isotope, The Death Row Complex, and The Pharaoh Project. A professional drug discovery biologist and life-long travel addict, Elise takes the inspiration for her novels from real-life mysteries and discoveries made both in and out of the laboratory.

Many years ago, while in the lab hunting for inhibitors of a biological weapon, Elise stumbled upon a powerful activator instead. From this discovery, this molecular grenade with the pin still attached, The Death Row Complex was born. A fast-paced science and medical thriller, The Death Row Complex explores a fictitious but all-too-plausible genetically engineered strain of anthrax and the desperate world of bioengineering that created it. Fans of Robin Cook and Michael Crichton will love The Death Row Complex.

Elise' work as a drug hunter converged with a research trip through the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum to spark The Vesuvius Isotope. Likened to the works of Dan Brown including Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code, The Vesuvius Isotope is a treasure hunt through Italy and Egypt, investigating several non-fictional mysteries that have endured for more than two thousand years. More historical mystery/thriller than science thriller, The Vesuvius Isotope traces the tragically misunderstood life of the last pharaoh of Egypt, Cleopatra VII, and blurs the lines between fact and fiction, medicine and magic, science and superstition, history and legend.

The Pharaoh Project is a sequel to The Vesuvius Isotope, taking place five years later in a world where the global pandemic has become the norm. Like the story that precedes it, The Pharaoh Project chases ancient history and legend into modern-day conflicts, illuminating very real and contemporary threats along the way.

Kristen Elise lives in San Diego, California. When not investigating historical mysteries, she continues to hunt for drugs and the stories they tell.
