More About the Author

A New York Times and International bestselling author, Erica Spindler's skill for crafting engrossing plots and compelling characters has earned both critical praise and legions of fans. Published in 25 countries, her stories have been lauded as "thrill-packed page turners, white- knuckle rides and edge-of-your-seat whodunits."

Raised in Rockford, Illinois, Erica had planned on being an artist, earning a BFA from Delta State University and an MFA from the University of New Orleans in the visual arts. In June of 1982, in bed with a cold, she picked up a romance novel for relief from daytime television. She was immediately hooked, and soon decided to try to write one herself. She leaped from romance to suspense in 1996 with her novel Forbidden Fruit, and found her true calling.

Her novel Bone Cold won the prestigious Daphne du Maurier Award for excellence. A Romance Writers of America Honor Roll member, she received a Kiss of Death Award for her novels Forbidden Fruit and Dead Run and was a three-time RITA® Award finalist. Publishers Weekly awarded the audio version of her novel Shocking Pink a Listen Up Award, naming it one of the best audio mystery books of 1998.

Erica lives just outside New Orleans, Louisiana, with her husband and two sons and is busy at work on her next thriller.

This is a keeper! From page 1 until the end, I did not want to put the book down. The ending was great, in only it matched the middle and the beginning. This is a really good book.

I generally like Erica Spindler's books but couldn't get into this one. The info on wine country was great and not excessive. But the characters had no depth. I really didn't care about any of them and the ending was stupid and not everything was resolved. Plus I don't get the thing with Alex and Reed. They never went out in public together and half the time Reed thought Alex was a murderer. There were three or four sex scenes which totaled, not kidding, about two pages. Borrow this one from the library.

As always, Erica Spindler does not disappoint! Blood Vines was a great book that kept me waiting on the edge of my seat. Set in Sonoma California, the ending has a twist that you don't expect. Just as I thought I had it all figured out, I was wrong again! I love that her books are never predictable, I can never guess the ending no matter how hard I try. I've read all of her books and this one is as good as the first. You will enjoy Blood Vines.
