"Let’s cut to the chase: I love Smith’s work. She is one of the finest, smartest, most gifted writers working in crime fiction today...White Shotgun is an edgy, realistic, personal trip down the rabbit hole of an FBI undercover operation into one of the ‘mafias.’ Note the plural. This ain’t your daddy’s mafia. The new mafia is called the mafias. Forget Sonny Corleone, what you think you know from The Godfather, and rehashed Sopranos tropes straight outta Jersey--what you will read here in Smith’s thoroughly researched and realistically portrayed thriller is the way its done, now, today, straight outta Italy." -- Robert Crais

In addition to writing world class suspense, Smith is an accomplished television and film screen writer and producer. The shoot for Good Morning Killer will begin this fall in Vancouver. How does she turn ideas into such marketable, saleable content? Ask her yourself!
