Maria Pease is a writer originally from Long Island, N.Y. She is one of seven kids falling in line at number six. Growing up she was very shy and quiet and spent most of her childhood pretending. She has always loved everything about a good story and writing them seemed to come naturally.

It wasn't until her son Steven was about ten that she began writing seriously. It all started when he asked to stay up a little later than his seven-year-old sister Ali. Trying to discourage this, she told him he could, but there would be no TV. The deal was that he could either read or write. He agreed and she found herself in a situation, if he couldn't watch TV, neither could she.

That's when Samantha Parker was born. The thing is, every night after Steven went to bed, she stayed up writing and before she knew it, she had written Malicious Intent A Sam Parker Mystery.

Now she has just released her third book in the series, Malicious Desires A Sam Parker Mystery.

A teenager who loves video games.

The guy he met online

The nightmare he never expected.

As a private investigator, Samantha Parker has seen her share of darkness, but nothing could have prepared her for the evil she was about to encounter. She’s been assigned to locate a sixteen-year-old boy who has run away from home to meet up with a gaming buddy he met online. With a frantic mother to deal with and few leads to go on, it’s not going to be easy. As she uncovers each clue, she discovers a path that leads to a dark underworld that she didn’t know existed, and it turns out that the boy isn’t the only one she’ll need to save.

As the third book in Maria Pease’s Sam Parker Mystery series, this heart-racing mystery takes Sam into the darkest depths of society. No one is who they appear to be and the secrets that are revealed will make you wonder if you really know anyone at all.
