She earned her ticket into the crowded arena of dark thriller contenders with her previous novel ("Marred"), and in "Wings of Mayhem" she announces her arrival with the wail of approaching sirens and the quiet horror of a blade swinging at your throat in the dark." ~ USA Today Bestselling Author Larry Brooks "Riveting and haunting! Sue Coletta's page-turning crime fiction is deliciously nuanced with delectable horror and dark humor. Unique and compelling characters make a sumptuous and satisfying meal. Save room for a decadent dessert of plot twists." ~ Jordan Dane - Bestselling, critically-acclaimed author of the Ryker Townsend FBI Profiler series I write what I love to read, like most authors. As a reader there's nothing better than being on the edge of my seat...wondering, who committed the crime?...and trying to solve complex puzzles about grisly murders before the detective does. As such, I imbued my stories with these elements. I spend countless hours of research before starting to write, which is one of my favorite parts of the process. Learning about forensics, investigations, what happens to the body after death, the mind of a killer--these things fascinate me. I have the best job in the world! My focus, however, is always on you, the reader. My hope is that you'll enjoy reading my stories as much as I enjoyed writing them. Because if it weren't for you, dear reader, I wouldn't get to live my dream. "Riveting and haunting!
