S
andra K. Moore has been a poet, a technical writer, a martial arts student, and a software product manager, occasionally all at the same time. She grew up in genteel Chattanooga, Tennessee, though weekend trips to the family farms in Henagar, Alabama were a staple of her childhood. In Chattanooga she attended Girls Preparatory School and so entered college with little experience in the subject of men other than through the dozens of romances borrowed from her best friend.
Though her rural upbringing might have qualified her to write in the great tradition of Eudora Welty and William Faulkner, she ultimately became a technical writer for a computer software company.
After a ten-year detour into the software industry -- and moving from technical writing to project management to marketing -- she now spends her time writing action-adventure novels and varnishing, preparing to varnish, or thinking about varnishing the motor yacht she shares with her handsome partner and two cats called Dot and Dash. |

The Orchid Hunter
Silhouette Bombshell
March 2005
ISBN:
0373513496 |
More hunter than botanist, Dr. Jessie Robards had dedicated her life to tracking down the world's rarest flowers. But finding the Death Orchid was different. The legendary medicinal flower could save her dying uncle -- if she could keep the precious bloom out of her greedy competitors' hands. But she'd need more than her scientific mind and strong legs to survive the perils of the Amazon. This time the independent adventurer would need the courage to trust a man she barely knew on a journey into the heart of darkness. |

Athena Force graduate Nikki Bustillo is a girl with a little something extra, courtesy of Lab 33's genetic manipulation. She's sent by Delphi to track a satellite signal -- key to solving a piece of the larger puzzle -- which leads her to Hong Kong, a handsome off-duty HK cop, and a child sex slavery racket.
Only her wits, her inner strength, and her unique gift -- to scent danger and emotion -- can track the mysterious Diviner to his lair. |
