Riley Blake

Riley Blake grew up in the country surrounded by horses, cows, cats, dogs, and a lot of siblings to keep her in line. With the hustle and bustle of the family’s farm, Riley often looked for quiet places to read the latest Nancy Drew or Trixie Belden mystery. While her friends dreamt of marrying Prince Charming, Riley dreamed of writing the dashing prince’s murder mystery and inevitably killed him off right before he returned Cinderella’s glass slipper. In those days, she enjoyed coming up with a list of suspects and felt her day wasn’t complete until all present relatives participated in solving the day’s crime. 

Today, Riley can often be found plotting out her next mystery or thriller. When she isn’t writing, she enjoys visiting libraries and participating in book clubs. She’ll never turn down the opportunity to help with a book drive or literacy program. She invites readers to connect with her on Twitter @RileyBlakeBooks.
