In 1982 she graduated magna cum laude from College of Saint Mary in Omaha, Nebraska, with a B.A. To pay living expenses, she worked in a nearby hospital’s central supply department collecting and sterilizing all of the basins, instruments and equipment from surgery, pathology and the morgue. Kava earned an art scholarship to attend college.
As a teenager, Kava wrote short stories on the backs of calendars, sharing them only with her younger brother and hiding them in a shoe box under her bed. Reading was seen as frivolous unless required as schoolwork.
Her parents, although they understood the value of education, had a tremendous work ethic. Growing up in the country outside Silver Creek, Nebraska, Alex Kava fantasized about becoming a writer. Her work has been widely praised by critics and fans alike, and her previous novels in the Maggie O’Dell series, A Perfect Evil, Split Second and The Soul Catcher, have spent several weeks on the New York Times extended and USA TODAY bestseller lists. Alex Kava is an international bestselling suspense writer.
