About

For curious readers, Chrissy Hicks provides the best mystery experience. Her books twist expectations and end with unexpected hope.

I write contemporary suspense thrillers with psychological depth for readers who appreciate amateur detectives, morally-complex, character-driven mysteries, and dark secrets.

I’m an active member of Mystery Writers of America and International Thriller Writers.

 

Professionally, I hold degrees in Psychology and Counseling, and have helped hundreds of people through career counseling and resume development.

Personally, I am an avid reader. As a child, I read everything in sight, from the backs of cereal boxes to the Boxcar Children. I participate in NaNoWriMo as often as possible and use my varied life experiences as a constant inspiration for stories and books. Many of the nature photos on this website are mine (excluding the photos in my blog); they were taken during various adventures.
