BIOGRAPHY Written in a variety of genres, Black’s character driven stories rarely turn out quite the way the reader would expect. The author combines imagination and experience to weave dramatic plots with believable characters in descriptive settings, whether contemporary or supernatural.
Her fascination with the pa... ranormal is often seen in her prose. Even when it isn’t the basis of the plot, it is not unusual to find a touch of the supernatural in the storyline. Occasionally, however, the reference is so subtle, the reader could miss it. The author also includes a four-legged character in most of her books, even if it’s just a cameo appearance.
