At the time, my life was pretty dark, so I enjoyed the laugh-out-loud snark of Lucky and her pals.But, now life is a bit brighter and I find the darker side, my love of thrillers calling to me. I've always loved thrillers, especially psychological thrillers, medical thrillers, women in jeopardy chase books, that sort of thing. Fast-paced storylines with deep, well-rounded characters—I wanted to add my name to the list of writers who have delved deep into these waters.You're a lawyer, so why the medical tie-in?I've always been a science geek. When I first went to college, medical school was my target. Alas, life got in the way, but it didn't dim my interest in the field. And today, technology is honing a sharp edge in the medical field raising lots of possibilities for cures. But where there is a good use there is also a bad use—the yin and the yang. Nothing ever comes without a price. Great for storytelling.PRAISE FOR After Me"Fantastic! Coonts combines her trademark strong characters and clever plotting with one of the freshest concepts in suspense—a heroine with early onset Alzheimer's who literally can't remember why everyone wants her dead. Buckle your seatbelt for a wild ride!" - Lisa Gardner, NYT #1 crime novelist and author of Find Her"A firecracker of a thriller—with an ingenious premise, non-stop suspense and terrific writing. But it's the heroine who makes this such a winner—a heart-breakingly damaged loner who's got 'soon-to-be-a-major-motion-picture' written all over her." - Hank Phillippi Ryan, Anthony, Agatha, and Mary Higgins Clark award-winning author of Say No More"Everyone who loves Deborah Coonts's Lucky series knows that she is a master of the humorous mystery; now everyone will watch Coonts make her mark in the darker world of suspense.

After Me is the hallmark of a great thriller: strong voice, twisting mystery, and a compelling heroine." - Allison Brennan, NYT bestselling author of The Lost Girls"Relentlessly paced, After Me is the compelling quest of a woman's inspiring quest to survive...and a haunting reminder of the great truth: we are what we remember. It's Coonts's most gripping book yet." - Vicki Pettersson, NYT and USA Today Bestselling author of Swerve"Deborah Coonts has given us an incredibly original story. Enjoy!" - Catherine Coulter NYT #1 bestselling author of Insidious"After Me is a fast-paced page-turner with a plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat. In this taut romantic thriller, no one is who they seem—least of all, Kate Sawyer. Kate must piece together a past she can't remember—a past that holds the key to her staying alive. Coonts has a sure winner!" - Barbara Freethy, NYT #1 bestselling author"I love Kate Sawyer!
