About B A Trimmer
I'm thrilled to announce that Scottsdale Sting is now out on audiobook. I hope you enjoy it. As always, Lily Harmon did an amazing job with the narration.
Several people have asked if the places in the books are real. The answer is most of them are. On the Amazon Author's page, I’ve added pictures of several places in and around Scottsdale that Laura and her friends have visited. I’ll add more as I take them. Let me know if you have any suggestions...
As for me, halfway through a successful career in technical writing, marketing, and sales, along with having four beautiful children, I somehow veered into fiction. Combining a love of the desert, derived from many years of living in Arizona, with an appreciation of the modern romantic detective story, the Scottsdale Series was born. I hope you like the results!
Thanks to all for the great comments and suggestions. As always, I'd love to hear from you.
