About Brenda Stanley

I wrote my first novel at age seventeen, and most of the stories I tell involve some suspense and mystery. I'm a journalist and former television news anchor, and investigative reporter for the NBC affiliate in Eastern Idaho. I have covered crime and court stories for years and used that experience in many of my novels. I enjoy putting my characters in challenging situations and seeing how they react. After decades of doing the news and raising five children, including two sets of twins, I now devote my time to writing, cooking, gardening, and grandkids! My husband, Dave, is a veterinarian, and we live on a small ranch in Blackfoot, Idaho, with our dogs, horses, chickens, sheep, and whatever else I decide to add to what Dave calls my “petting zoo.”
