Luana is an award-winning author, minister's wife, and former missionary with a passion for spy thrillers and mystery novels. She began writing the Titus Ray novels when her husband retired from the pastorate. Now she writes from an undisclosed location, trying to avoid the torture of mundane housework, grocery shopping, and golf stories. Occasionally, she comes out of hiding to play with her two grandsons or to enjoy a Starbucks caramel macchiato. She resides in Norman, Oklahoma.
