 Paula Boyd grew up in a small town in Texas that
some would say was not unlike Kickapoo, which was just down the road
from a bigger town that might, in some small ways, resemble Redwater
Falls. These are coincidences, of course, as all the people, places
and events are the fictional, as attested by the appropriate disclaimers
in the books and my willingness to swear to the same under oath.
I married exceptionally young—I had my reason,
okay?—and moved to Denver a few years later. A few more years
later, children started appearing. I eventually figured out what
was causing that, but by then I had three kids and a tenuous grasp
on my sanity. These same children, now grown, are convinced I never
had a grip at all and that medication would still be a really good
thing for me. Ha! I have resisted their efforts this long so why
start now? And besides, all I have to do to feel better is sit down
at the computer and plot a few murders. For my own reasons and nobody
can tell me I ought not feel that way. I can feel any damn way I
want and anyone who gets in my way can expect an untimely and likely
gruesome death. So there.
Well, I guess it has been so long since I’ve
written one of these I’ve forgotten how. I covered the long
version about death, divorce and disruption in my rambling update
so I guess I’ll go with an old and boring format below for
those who like such things.
Paula Boyd grew up in Holliday, Texas, attended
Midwestern State University, and moved to Denver in 1981 where
she eventually became a regulatory compliance consultant. Through
the years she also became a certified practitioner and teacher
in energy therapy and continues to work in the healing arts. Paula
now lives near Hot Springs, Arkansas, where she also does health,
safety and environmental consulting and project management work.
Paula’s first book, Hot
Enough to Kill, was released in 1999 followed in 2000
by Dead Man Falls,
WILLA Literary Award Winner for Best Original Paperback.
