She has been a writer and a reader her whole life, starting her career as a journalist in the Midwest.  She triple majored in college in creative writing, journalism, and history - which helps explain why many of her books are based somewhere in between fact and fiction.  She often works historical elements into her fiction - like in the hugely popular Missing series.
