Award-winning author Monica McGurk likes nothing better than weaving complex, multilayered stories that bring contemporary issues and strong female characters to life through different genres of popular fiction. Her previous work includes three volumes of paranormal YA romance—The Archangel Prophecies: Dark Hope, Dark Rising, and Dark Before Dawn— along with numerous works of fan fiction under the name Consultant by Day. The Handler is the follow-up to her critically acclaimed The Agency, the first novel in The Norwood Nanny Chronicles.
A corporate executive, she now lives in Chicagoland with her husband, Tom, their youngest son, and their dog, Ellie. You can find her on Facebook, Instagram, Goodreads, and LinkedIn, or on her website: monica
I retired from a successful marketing career in the insurance industry. My husband was happy (at first) that I retired, but decided that we didn't need quite as much time together as we were getting. Hence, the writing.
We share our house with two cats that are working on training us. In addition, our pond houses two koi, Daisy and Rose, as well as assorted shubunkins and minnows. One would think that frogs would love the environment in the pond, but it appears that they like swimming laps in the pool almost as much as I do.
Tending to this menagerie, writing, and rescuing the frog population from certain death keep me busy.
