Ardelle Holden, along with her husband Patrick, raised two children while adventuring in aviation, mining exploration, and the wild rice lakes of Northern Manitoba. She’s worked as a medical office assistant, a videographer of family albums, and a seamstress for well-coordinated square dancers.
Now, she summers on Vancouver Island and winters in Mexico. This ideal tranquility, somehow inspires Ardelle write about brutal murders, kidnappings, missing children, a fatal car crash, and general mayhem.
Ardelle is the author of the Samantha Bowers trilogy and at the end of the third book, Murder by Pins and Needles she left Sam with a “all live happily ever after” ending, and Samatha deserves it. We’ll have to wait to see if Ardelle ever picks up that series again, but in the meantime, she’s started a new one. Killing Imaginary Friends, the debut novel in the Oliver Frampton Series, begins one stormy night with a young Olly being taken away along a treacherous highway.
