Notă biografică
Fayewas
born
in
San
Fernando,
California
and
uprooted
before
she
was
ten
to
a
place
where
people
supposedly
had
swamps
in
their
backyards
and
alligators
for
pets.
She
didn’t
have
any
alligator
for
pets
in
Shreveport,
Louisiana
and
it
wasn’t
exactly
a
log
cabin,
but
an
amazing,
resourceful
single
mother
raised
Faye
and
her
five
siblings
in
one
of
Shreveport’s
now
disappearing
shotgun
houses.
At
eighteen,
she
left
Louisiana
for
the
United
States
Navy.
The
Navy
gave
her
an
opportunity
to
spend
some
time
living
in
Naples,
Italy
and
on
both
US
coasts:
Washington,
DC
and
northern
California
where
she
eventually
settled.
After
the
Navy,
she
went
to
work
as
an
information
technology
professional
in
various
industries
while
on
her
way
to
a
masters
in
english
literature.
She
also
managed
three
novels,
two
boys,
a
husband,
five
dogs
and
three
writing
fellowships
during
those
years.
Today,
she
works,
writes,
and
lives
in
Modesto,
California.
Recenzii
“I
genuinely
hope
that
this
is
the
first
in
a
series
featuring
Raven
and
Byrd’s
Landing,
it
is
highly
recommended
for
readers
who
enjoy James
Lee
Burke and Sara
Paretsky.”

It
“The
novel
was
gripping,
intense,
and
suspenseful-everything
I
want
in
a
crime
fiction
novel.”
-
Life
of
a
Female
Bibliophile“Faye
Snowden
has
created
a
pulse
pounding
and
intense
story
that
looks
at
both
family
relationships
and
how
our
lives
are
influenced
by
our
pasts.”

The
Nerdy
Girl
Express“This
book
was
the
perfect
heart
pumping,
page
turning
read
that
I
needed.”
-
Never
Without
a
Book“This
was
one
of
the
most hard-hitting unexpected reads. Authentic
writing was
what
I
would
describe
author Faye
Snowden’s style.
Believe
me,
the
story
pulled
me
in
so insidiously that
I
was
mighty
surprised
to
see
myself
completely immersed in
it.”

Reviews
“If you like dark and atmospheric and a strong-willed but damaged protagonist, then someone should wrap up this book for you, sneak into your bedroom in the dead of night, and leave it for you to read. The Prologue alone sent chills up my spine, and that was just the beginning. This is a book that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go until you reach THE END…”
“Full-bodied and dynamic characters carry this one along a mystery, tying a brutal past with a bloody present that will keep you guessing right up to the finale.”
“A solid contribution to a genre lacking in Black women authors [with] a strong sense of place, good character development, and a storyline that keeps you reading. Also, I will never get over this cover.”
“I enjoyed the ride and hope that we get to see more of Raven in future novels. I would recommend [A Killing Fire] to crime fiction and mystery lovers and fans of Ruth Ware and Gillian Flynn.”
“If you’re looking for a diverse, horror-tinged crime fiction, this would be a great choice.”
“What a rush! A Killing Fire is a page turning psychological thriller that will keep you guessing to the end.”
“Faye Snowden has created a pulse pounding and intense story that looks at both family relationships and how our lives are influenced by our pasts.”
“Gripping, intense, and suspenseful -- [A Killing Fire] was everything I want in a crime fiction novel. What I enjoyed the most about this book is though it follows some classic mystery genre tropes, it stands out among many other mystery books I’ve read. Snowden lures her readers into a tangled web of lies, inviting them to solve the mystery. The characters were diverse and complex, which I appreciated.”
“This is a fast-paced crime procedural. The mystery is well crafted and I enjoyed getting to know Raven Burns and the town of Byrd’s Landing. I hope that this is the start of a series about Raven and Byrd’s Landing because there feels like there is more there to discover. I give it 4 stars and recommend it to any fan of mysteries, crime thrillers, and/or Louisiana.”
“This was my first novel by Ms. Snowden, but most definitely not my last. I really loved how well developed this storyline was. The characters had so much depth.”
“Mystery, crime, psychological drama and ghost story all wrapped in one delicious package that will keep you gripped and guessing right to the end. Highly recommended.”
“A Killing Fire is a slow burn (no pun intended) but slow as in melting molasses or as in a perfectly slow cooked chilli. Reading it I could almost taste the dry dusty air and feel the sticky plastic in the diner when little Raven and her daddy went in for dinner. Deliciously descriptive.”
“A Killing Fire is a page turner. Snowden takes a unique and darker twist with detective Raven Burns [...] I am very much looking forward to reading whatever Snowden delivers next.”
