Riley LaShea

Publisher info

Riley LaShea is the author of a bunch of novels in a bunch of genres that so frequently combine into a single book, she spends a lot of time thinking, “Now, how the hell do I categorize this?”

She travels a lot (when the world is open), and has lived in a (mostly) lovely assortment of cities in multiple states and two countries.

She currently lives in Las Vegas with her wildly sarcastic, yet oddly charming spouse Shawna, but we’ll see how long that lasts. The location… not the wife.

Just for kicks, and to dabble in murder and mayhem, she writes police procedural thriller series, 21 Weeks, under pen name R.A. LaShea.
