NYT and USA Today bestselling author N. L. Hinkens writes twisty psychological suspense thrillers with unexpected endings. She’s a travel junkie, coffee hound, and idea wrangler, in no particular order. She grew up in Ireland—land of legends and storytelling—regaling the children she babysat for with inventive tales. Her first published book for young adults, Immurement, was the Grand prize winner of the 2016 Next Generation Indie Book Award for fiction, and launched her writing career.
