Girls' Night Out (4 page)

Mystery and true crime writer Kate Clark Flora's fascination with people's criminal tendencies began in the Maine attorney general's office. Deadbeat dads, people who hurt their kids, and employers' acts of discrimination aroused her curiosity about human behavior. Her books include seven “strong woman” Thea Kozak mysteries and three gritty police procedurals in her star-reviewed Joe Burgess series.
Redemption
was the 2013 Maine Literary Award winner for Crime Fiction. Her Edgar-nominated true crime story,
Finding Amy
, has been optioned for a movie. Flora has also published 15 crime stories in various anthologies.

When she's not writing or teaching at Grub Street in Boston, Flora is in her garden, waging a constant battle against critters, pests, and her husband's lawn mower. She's been married for 35 years to a man who still makes her laugh. She has two wonderful sons, a movie editor and a scientist, two lovely daughters-in-law, and four rescue “granddogs,” Frances, Otis, Harvey, and Daisy.
