Dana Killion

Dana Killion grew up in a small town in northern Wisconsin, reading Nancy Drew and dreaming of living surrounded by tall buildings. A career in the apparel industry satisfied her city living urge and Nancy Drew evolved into Cornwell, Grafton, and Evanovich. One day, frustrated that her favorite authors weren’t writing fast enough, an insane thought crossed her mind. “Maybe I could write a novel?” Silly, naïve, downright ludicrous. But she did it. She plotted and planned and got 80,000 words on the page. That manuscript lives permanently in the back of a closet. But the writing bug had bitten. Her first novel, Lies in High places, published in 2017 kicked off the mystery series. It was followed by The Last Lie (2018), Lies of Men (2019), Tell Me a Lie (2020), and The Liar's Code (2022) To date, the series has sold in 53 countries. In May of 2023, Dana will present her debut memoir, Where the Shadows Dance. A story born of a life in turmoil and her husband's addiction, a situation where the only way through was to write it. Dana currently lives in Tucson with her kitty, Isabel, happily avoiding snow and mending her heart.
