An award-winning journalist, Rena Koontz broke into the publishing world in September 2012. The debut of “Love’s Secret Fire” was the realization of a lifelong dream to write books – books that combine romance, suspense and strong female characters designed to mirror today’s women.
All the material was there. Working as a career news reporter at two of the country’s top 20 newspapers provided a writing journey that took Rena into the sports arena, politics, feature writing, editorial writing, and, her favorite, cops and courts. She has chased fire trucks and police cars, covered all sorts of crimes, including murders, and reported criminal, civil, high profile and ordinary trials. Many of the ideas for her books come from real cases she is familiar with.
Plus, being married to a retired FBI agent provides a source for invaluable technical advice. He’s pretty good with the romance parts as well!
Rena has received numerous journalism awards including recognition by the Associated Press for writing excellence.
Her second romantic suspense, “The Devil She Knew,” released in July 2013.
A Pittsburgh native, Rena now makes her home in Florida, having recently relocated from Central Illinois.
“Thief of the Heart” is her third novel.
