Sandra Brannan has created a heart-pounding mystery thriller series around Liv Bergen, a woman who embodies the spirit of South Dakota. Much like her character Liv Bergen, Brannan has spent her career in the mining business.

Working her way up from day laborer in the company her grandfather founded to a top executive in the family business wasn't easy, as Sandra often received threads from those opposed to mining. These life experiences gave her a first-person perspective into the high-stakes scenarios of which she writes.

In response to the overwhelming success of "In the Belly of Jonah" (2010), "Lot's Return to Sodom" (2011), "Widow's Might" (2012) and "Noah's Rainy Day" (2013), "Solomon's Whisper" (2014), "Jacob's Descent" (2016), "Jeremiah's Revenge" (2018), Brannan prioritizes her time first to the librarians and booksellers for nominating her to earn ABA Indie Next List and Notables, to book clubs and fans who have described Liv Bergen as the love child of Sue Grafton's Kinsey Milhone and Lee Child's Jack Reacher, and to teachers for all the gratitude she has for their role in her success. Her books have landed on the Denver Post best-seller list and reached #1 Best of Suspense Series on Listopia in 2015, Top 10 for e-book mysteries and Top 5 for women's mysteries, earning awards for her books from Book Excellence, TopShelf Indie, Forword Reviews IndieFab, USA Book News, and even Best of Suspense 2013 from Suspense Magazine.

Named one of the top 25 most fabulous women by Black Hills Magazine, Brannan lives in Deadwood near her hometown of Rapid City, South Dakota, with her husband spending lots of time with sons and grandchildren.
