Carolyn Crane is the author of the Code of Shadows series, a paranormal romantic suspense spy series with a dash of science-fiction and fantasy. She is also the author of the popular urban fantasy series, The Disillusionists, and a new romantic suspense series, The Associates. She's a writer living in Minneapolis with her husband and two daring cats. She works a day job as a freelance advertising writer; she's also waited tables at a surprising number of Minneapolis restaurants and bars (though not as many as her writer husband has). She's been a shop clerk and a plastics factory worker, which she was dismal at (think I Love Lucy). Also, if you invite her to your party, your cheese plate will be in grave danger. During rare moments when she's not at her computer, Carolyn can be found reading in bed, running, helping animals, or eating Mexican food. www.authorcarolyncrane.com
