About The Author
Frieda Dryden says “I guarantee you’ll lose sleep over this book, you won’t be able to put it down once you’ve started to read. ” The author has lived and worked in Sacramento for the California Department of Corrections. After retirement, she moved to Nebraska where she resumed her writing career. Her first novel, Leonard’s Wife, is the first in a series about the deranged Skeets Family. Dryden has written three additional novels in the series; Misty’s Child, Evil Seed and the last book Legacy of Taylor’s Mountain. A fifth book unrelated to the series, Trailer Trash, was released by the author last spring. There are several works in progress at this time.
Frieda is widowed and lives a rather recluse life with her two spirited cats. She devotes her time between writing to her family living nearby. As a member of The Nebraska Writer’s Guild, and Sister’s in Crime, most of Frieda’s interest revolves around writing more and more chilling thrillers.
