She's the last hope for a missing teenage girl. But time is running out...

Bounty hunter Jinx Ballou has pursued all sorts of fugitives across Phoenix, Arizona's mean streets and unforgiving desert. Drug dealers, carjackers, rapists, and murderers.

But nothing about her latest job makes any sense. A mentally disabled teenage girl in a wheelchair charged with murdering her own mother? And now she's vanished without a trace?

Jinx soon unearths a horrifying secret that may clear the missing teenager, but also points to a greater threat hunting them both. Racing against time, Jinx pushes her skills, her body, and her luck to the limit.

But can she find the girl before it's too late?

She is a former journalist and a current member of Sisters in Crime, International Thriller Writers and the Alliance of Independent Authors. She lives in Arizona with her wife and three feline overlords.

In the macho world of bounty hunting, transgender woman Jinx Ballou must prove she's better than the rest.

After a Phoenix newspaper outs her as trans, bounty hunter Jinx Ballou is furious to learn she's been blackballed by local bail bond agents. But she's not giving up without a fight.

Jinx convinces one desperate bail bond agent to hire her to return a young female murder suspect to jail. She's confident she can apprehend the fugitive woman, even after more seasoned bounty hunters failed.

When the trail puts Jinx in the crosshairs of a ruthless gangster, she questions whether the woman she's after is truly a murderer or another victim. To survive long enough to discover the truth and return her fugitive to custody, Jinx must push her skills, her body, and her luck to the limit.

Chaser is the first novel in the Jinx Ballou Bounty Hunter series, although all books in the Jinx Ballou world can be read as standalones. This white-knuckle roller coaster ride will keep you turning the pages into the wee hours. You'll cheer for this diverse cast of badass characters who sometimes cross the line in pursuit of justice.
