CONNIE JOHNSON HAMBLEY writes high-concept thrillers featuring remarkable women entangled in modern-day crimes. 

Growing up on a dairy farm in New York meant she had plenty of space to ride one of her six horses. All would have been idyllic if an arsonist hadn’t torched her family’s barn. Bucolic bubble burst, she began to steadfastly plot her revenge against all bad guys, real and imagined. After receiving her law degree, she moved to Boston and wrote for Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Nature, and other wonky outlets as she honed her skills of reaching readers at a deep emotional level. 

Connie embraces the changes in the publishing world by being both traditionally and independently published. Her high-concept thrillers feature remarkable women entangled in modern-day crimes and walk the reader on the razor’s edge between good and evil. She delights in creating worlds where the good guys win–eventually. 

Her short story, "Giving Voice," won acceptance in New England’s Best Crime Stories: Windward, published by Level Best Books. The third book in The Jessica Trilogy, "The Wake," joins "The Charity" and "The Troubles," 2016 Best Fiction winner at the EQUUS Film Festival in New York City. She keeps horses in her life by volunteering as a horse handler at a therapeutic riding center near her Boston home. Connie is a board member and Featured Speaker of Sisters in Crime. 

Connie writes page-turners and "The Charity" is the first The Jessica Trilogy. "The Troubles" continues the story in Ireland and "The Wake" returns to the States for an emotional conclusion.
