About the Author

Keith Houghton spent too much of his childhood reading science-fiction books, mostly by flashlight and tented under the bed covers, dreaming of becoming a full-time novelist. When he was thirteen, his English teacher-who was fed up with reading his space stories-told him he would never make it as a science-fiction writer. Undeterred, he went on to pen several sci-fi novels and three comedy stage plays, in and around raising a family. But it wasn't until he switched genres and began to write mystery thrillers that his dream finally became reality. These days, he can be found glued to a computer or spending quality time with his grandchildren. Keith Houghton is the author of the three Gabe Quinn thrillers, Killing Hope, Crossing Lines, and Taking Liberty, as well as the psychological thriller No Coming Back.
