Aimee & David Thurlo

[John Masse]

Now I wasn't really sure how to approach this next Author Spotlight. The website that I get the majority of my information from listed the author as Aimee Thurlo. But most of the books on this post feature her husband David Thrulo, though not all do. But regardless, the Thurlo's know how to diversify their writing. The pair have delved into romance writing, young adult books, as well as mystery. They have three ongoing series, all acclaimed by fans and reviewers alike. The Sister Agatha series, starring a cloistered nun. The Lee Nez series, featuring a Navajo vampire who teams up with a female FBI agent to fight crimes that have elements of the supernatural. But their biggest success has been the Ella Chan series, starring a tough Navajo FBI agent who combines modern investigative techniques with traditional Native American mystical beliefs to catch the bad guys. There is something for every reader out there, regardless of the style you like best.
