About the Author
Kathleen Kelley Reardon is the author of several acclaimed nonfiction books, professor emerita at USC’s Marshall School of Business, a featured political blogger at The Huffington Post since 2005, and the recipient of the 2013 Humanitarian Award from the UConn Alumni Association.
She has appeared on The Today Show, NBC Nightly News and Good Morning America. Her research and writings have been covered in hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles and broadcast news segments.
Dr. Reardon is also a visual artist, capturing Irish landscapes and waterways in watercolors and oils.
In her debut mystery SHADOW CAMPUS, and its sequel, DAMNED IF SHE DOES, Dr. Reardon has taken her knowledge of politics in the workplace to fiction. The results are deeply unsettling and strangely satisfying.
Mystery writing lets Peg indulge her curiosity under the guise of “work” (aka research). As a kid, she read the entire set of children’s encyclopedias her parents gave her and has been known to read the dictionary. She put pen to paper at age seven when she wrote plays and forced her cousins to perform them at Christmas dinner. She switched to mysteries when she discovered the perfect hiding place for a body down the street from her house.
