<p>Gemma Christina once heard that the essence of regional crime fiction is taking a lovely place and dropping a body in it. The Pacific Northwest is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. This is where Gemma lives. What better place could there be for a crime series? Combine that with being a middle school teacher, and the "On the Sound" series was born. </p>
<p>When not writing, Gemma loves seeing the rest of the beautiful world with her husband and the rest of her family, including one granddaughter.</p>
