Jaime Maddox spends her mornings practicing medicine, her afternoons playing mom, and nights writing fiction for Bold Strokes Books. Her debut novel Agnes earned her the Alice B Lavender Certificate, and she followed up with three other works: The Common Thread, Bouncing and Deadly Medicine. She loves her native Pocono Mountains, and of her books are set, at least partially, in Northeastern Pennsylvania. She still lives there, with her partner Carolyn, and their eleven year old twins, Jamison and Max, but escapes on occasion for a little diversion. In an effort to keep her blood pressure high, she plays golf. She lowers it again by hanging out with her family, yoga, reading and baking.
