Carmen Radtke has spent most of her life with ink on her fingers and a dangerously high pile of books and newspapers by her side. She has worked as a newspaper reporter on two continents and always dreamt of becoming a novelist and screenwriter. When she found herself crouched under her dining table, typing away on a novel between two earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand, she realised she was hooked for life. "The Case of the Missing Bride" is a former Malice Domestic finalist, inspired by a true event. Its heroine Alyssa Chalmers will soon return in "Glittering Death". When Carmen is not writing, reading or dreaming of travel, she is busy acting as resident cat servant. She's currently working on her first contemporary crime novel.
