Avon/Harpercollins launched Jordan Dane's debut suspense novels in a back to back publishing event in Spring 2008 after buying the 3-book series in auction. Ripped from the headlines, Jordan's gritty plots weave a tapestry of vivid settings, intrigue, and dark humor. Publishers Weekly compared her intense pacing to Lisa Jackson, Lisa Gardner, and Tami Hoag--romantic suspense that "crosses over into plain thriller country." Pursuing publication since 2003, she received awards in 33 national writing competitions, including her 2005 Golden Heart final. Formerly an energy sales manager in the oil and gas industry, she now is following her passion to write full time. Jordan and her husband share their residence with two cats of highborn lineage and the memory of an intelligent, impossible to forget canine. For more, visit www.jordandane.com.
