Toni Dwiggins is a third-generation Californian who migrated from southern Cal to northern Cal. What she likes most about her state is that one can go from the ocean to the mountains in one day, with a lunch stop in the desert. She likes it so much she has chosen those settings for her forensic geology books. These stories feature a young woman and her father-figure mentor, who analyze earth evidence to solve crimes and crises--and in the process get entangled in outdoor adventure and thrills.Her book Badwater won Wired.com's Golden Bot Award for the 'Best Whodunit.' ** Join Toni on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ToniDwigginsBooks ** To be notified of new releases, sign up here:http://eepurl.com/g-vtM** Visit Toni's website at http://tonidwiggins.com/** Say hi on Twitter at https://twitter.com/ToniDwigginsWHAT READERS AND REVIEWERS ARE SAYING about Toni's books: QUICKSILVER:A splendid story for science thriller fans"--ScienceThrillers.comFrom Amazon reviewers:"A sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-chair kind of adventure""Fascinating, Terrifying - Like Playing with Mercury""Neat CSI stuff""Illuminates an aspect of the California Gold Rush that I had no idea existed""I feel I am right there with Cassie and Walter, trying to find a way out""An amazing rollercoaster ride!"
