- About Me:
- Avon/Harpercollins launched Jordan Dane’s debut suspense novels in a back to back publishing event in Spring 2008 after the 3-book series sold in auction. Ripped from the headlines, Jordan's gritty plots weave a tapestry of vivid settings, intrigue, and dark humor. Publishers Weekly compared her intense pacing to Lisa Jackson, Lisa Gardner, and Tami Hoag—romantic suspense that “crosses over into plain thriller country”. Pursuing publication since 2003, this national best selling author received awards in 33 national writing competitions, including Best Book of 2008 by Publishers Weekly in Mass-Market for her debut novel. Formerly an energy sales manager in the oil and gas industry, she now is following her passion to write full time. Jordan and her husband share their residence with two cats of highborn lineage and the sweet memory of an impossible to forget canine.

My next release will be EVIL WITHOUT A FACE (Feb 09, Avon), book #1 in my new Sweet Justice series.
The Sweet Justice Series - Overview
The Sweet Justice thrillers will focus on the lives and loves of three women—a bounty hunter operating outside the law, an ambitious vice cop, and a former international operative with a mysterious past. These women give Lady Justice a whole new reason to wear blinders. And their brand of justice is anything but sweet.
Sweet Justice Series - Book #1
In EVIL WITHOUT A FACE, an illusive web of imposters on the Internet lures a deluded teen from her Alaskan home and launches a chain reaction collision course with an unlikely tangle of heroes who uncover a terrifying global conspiracy. They’re battling a new kind of criminal. And soon their race for answers will become a dangerous struggle for survival.
Sweet Justice Series - Book #2
In THE WRONG SIDE OF DEAD, the mysterious computer wizard Seth Harper is framed for a heinous murder and becomes a sacrificial lamb to a ruthless killer. And between his gaps in memory and reluctance to reveal his secrets, fugitive recovery agent Jessica Beckett, vice cop Sam Cooper and international operative Alexa Marlowe have an uphill battle to help the boy genius. But Harper’s plight is not what it seems. And with one fatal mistake, more innocent lives could wind up on the wrong side of dead. - I Am A:

- Books And Authors I Like:
- Robert Crais, Michael Connelly, Joseph Finder, Dean Koontz, Robert Ludlum, Sandra Brown, Lisa Gardner, Jan Burke, David Morrell, Jonathan Kellerman, Tami Hoag, Heather Graham, John Sandford, David Baldacci, and countless others.
- Movies And TV Shows I Like:
- I have too many movie favorites to mention. Love the escapism of movies…and Goobers. I used to watch more TV, but these days, I prefer to explore the 3lbs of gray matter in my own head. World building, travel, research for new material, reading other authors’ brilliance, and spending face time with friends and family take up my hours when I’m not writing.
