About the Author

Chandler McGrew is the author of four critically acclaimed suspense novels, Cold Heart, Night Terror, In Shadows and The Darkening . Self-reportedly, he writes ten to twelve hours a day fuelled by liberal doses of coffee, Pepsi, and the occasional dollop of single-malt scotch to take the edge off . Born in Texas, he lived for almost a decade in Alaska where his first novel, Cold Heart, is set. He now lives in quiet seclusion in the mountains of Maine, a proud husband and father with what he describes as four remarkable women in his life--Rene, Keni, Mandi, and Charli. McGrew didn t start writing professionally until he was in his forties, and is an avid follower of other art forms, including painting which preceded his writing, and photography. He also holds the rank of Shodan in Kyokushin Karate, and is trained in Aikido! His writing career did not bring immediate success. He penned fourteen novels over eight years, which went unpublished, and reckoned to have received over three hundred rejection letters during that period from agents and editors. Then, having signed with Irene Kraas, the last of five agents he had worked through, he finally broke through and became the highly successful novelist he is known as today. McGrew generously credits Kraas with guiding him through the tricky learning curve of working with professional editors at large publishing houses, and for helping build his career, along with a later agent, Peter Rubie, whom he regards as arguably the best all-rounder in the business. McGrew s novels are peopled with characters who might be regarded as next door neighbors, but that doesn t prevent the developments of gripping plots that The Denver Post, in referring to one of them, described as playing on the primal fears that cause most adults to lose sleep . He has an uncanny knack of both touching readers and frightening them at the same time, whilst providing a thrilling and addictive read."
