I come from the rainy and murderous Pacific Northwest near Seattle. We know a thing or two about serial killers here because we’ve had some of the most notorious call our neck of the woods home. I can look across the water from my home and see the city where Ted Bundy first killed a girl. Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer, dumped several bodies in a cluster within a mile or two of where I worked at the time. Robert Lee Yates, a serial killer from Spokane dumped a body one road over from where I live today.
Here’s the thing… my characters, like brilliant but damaged Megan Carpenter in Snow Creek, are rooted in experiences I’ve had as a true crime writer. Hanging out with cops, talking to victims of crimes, and living in an atmospheric and rugged Pacific Northwest, are genuine creative forces behind my novels. Megan’s only getting started. And so am I.
I hope you loved Snow Creek, and if you did, I would be very grateful if you could write a review. Reviews are your way of introducing others to books that have intrigued or maybe even scared you. I’d love to hear what you think, and it makes such a difference helping new readers to discover one of my books for the first time.
I love hearing from my readers—you can get in touch on my Facebook page, through Twitter, Goodreads or my website.
Thanks,
Gregg Olsen

I am grateful to the awesome Bookouture team: Publisher Claire Bord who brought one of my most beloved characters to adulthood in a series I just couldn’t shake from my dreams. Much appreciation also goes to each and every member of this amazing team: Leodora Darlington, Alexandra Holmes, Chris Lucraft, Alex Crow, Jules Macadam, Kim Nash, Noelle Holten and Natalie Butlin.
To my copyeditor Janette Currie, proofreader Liz Hatherell, and, last but not least, cover designer Lisa Horton. Each of you are innovators and masters of disciplines and programs that are unrivaled anywhere in the world. Thank you all!
I’d also like to pay tribute to my agent Susan Raihofer of David Black Literary Agency, NY, and my personal assistant, Chris Renfro, for all that you do to keep things moving at a rapid-fire clip.
Finally, to Liz Pearsons, you have my undying gratitude on so many things. I know you know that. But at the top of the list at the moment was your recognition that I had a need to write this book and you paved the way to make it happen. I adore you.
