"A TRAILBLAZER IN THE K-9 FICTION GENRE, Kava creates a “dynamic between Ryder and his canines that reveals a world rarely shared in fiction and perhaps nowhere presented more effectively than in this series.” —Phil Jason, Florida Weekly

"It's impossible not to care about and root for the human and canine heroes in Kava's series." —Tracie Holtcher, The Radio Pet Lady Network ™

She is a member of the Nebraska Writers Guild and is a founding member of International Thriller Writers. When she's not writing, Kava enjoys spending time with her pack of three Westies and one Jack Russell terrorist.They definitelyare not as well trained as Ryder Creed's dogs.
