Author Flo Fitzpatrick was born in Washington, D.C. and, as an Army brat, spent her first years living in a chateau outside of Orléans, France. She's convinced the Gothic nature of the castle inspired her life-long love for mystery and suspense. Flo holds a Master's in Theatre and a Bachelor's in Dance and has worked as a performer, choreographer/director, and teacher. Her favorite acting gig was NY-Go!, a variety show filmed in Manhattan designed to help Japanese tourists trying to deal with American slang. Flo's second novel, Hot Stuff, was nominated for Best Romantic Suspense by RT Book Review, and optioned for film. Currently living in Alabama with her very mixed-breed dog, Juniper, she sings with jazz band The Usual Suspects.
