Fatal Wound

Mary Stone lives among the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains of East Tennessee with her two dogs, four cats, a couple of energetic boys, and a very patient husband.

As a young girl, she would go to bed every night, wondering what type of creature might be lurking underneath. It wasn’t until she was older that she learned that the creatures she needed to most fear were human.

Today, she creates vivid stories with courageous, strong heroines and dastardly villains. She invites you to enter her world of serial killers, FBI agents but never damsels in distress. Her female characters can handle themselves, going toe-to-toe with any male character, protagonist or antagonist.

Also writes as Mira Shaw.

Bella Cross spent the better part of fifteen years teaching bored teenagers all about the Dewey Decimal System while inhaling the dust from the library books she loves so much. With each story she read, a little voice in her head whispered, “You can do that too.” So, she did.

A thousand heart palpitations later, she’s thrilled with the completed series, made possible by the support of her husband, twin girls, and the gigantic Newfoundland she rescued, who insists on keeping her feet warm.
