    Maggie Price

    Maggie Price turned to crime at the age of 22. That s when she went to work at the Oklahoma City Police Department. As a civilian crime analyst, she evaluated suspects methods of operation during the commission of robberies and sex crimes, and developed profiles on those suspects. During her tenure at OCPD, Maggie stood in lineups, snagged assignments to homicide task forces, established procedures for evidence submittal, even posed as the wife of an undercover officer in the investigation of a fortune-teller. Drawing on her 12 years experience in law enforcement, Maggie penned her first novel, Prime Suspect. One week after Silhouette acquired the novel of romance and intrigue, the Romance Writers of America awarded Prime Suspect its prestigious Golden Heart Award for Best Romantic Suspense. Maggie has conducted extensive research for her novels that thrill and chill by visiting OCPD s forensics laboratory, taking aim on the police firing range, riding the graveyard shift with patrol officers, and hitting the streets with OCPD s Vice Detail during the conduct of a prostitute sting. Maggie loves to hear from readers! She invites you to write to her at: 5208 W. Reno, Suite 350, Oklahoma City, OK 73127. Or send her an email at: MAGPRICE@aol.com She also welcomes visitors to her web site at http://members.aol.com/magprice.
