Luca Storm is the pen name this author uses when writing thriller suspense novels. “Ruthless Alliance” is her first thriller novel, and she’s currently penning the second book of the series.

Luca’s been an avid reader of mysteries since she picked up her first Nancy Drew book in the third grade and read it with a flashlight under the bedcovers, long after her bedtime. Her parents were avid readers and encouraged her to read in all genres. As an adult, she still gravitates to suspense thrillers.

Her favorite fiction authors are Harlan Coben, Patricia Cornwell, JT Ryan, and Lee Child. She’s also a fan of non-fiction authors Malcolm Gladwell, James Clear, and Seth Godin.

The characters she creates are realistic, three-dimensional, and some are darkly funny. Her style is to write in first-person, giving each character a distinct voice and viewpoint. The plots unwind throughout the book. The end of her books are always a surprise, but they resolve the story. You won’t find hanging endings in her books—she’s no fan of them when she reads for pleasure. However, you will find familiar characters in subsequent books.
