Colleen Cross writes three bestselling mystery/thriller series. Her latest, the Westwick Witches Cozy Mystery series, is a paranormal cozy mystery set in tiny Westwick Corners, an almost-ghost town where nothing ever happens ...except when the witches get involved! Her two popular mystery/thriller/crime series feature Katerina Carter, a forensic accountant and fraud investigator with street smarts. She always does the right thing, though her unorthodox methods are a little hair-raising and heart stopping.Colleen also writes white collar crime nonfiction. Anatomy of a Ponzi: Scams Past and Present exposes the biggest Ponzi schemers of all time and how they get away with their crimes. She predicts the exact time and place the biggest Ponzi scheme ever will be exposed, and it will be soon!
