Deadly Secrets (Triple Crown Publications Presents)
Vonnie Coates hails from the South Side streets of Columbus, Ohio. Growing up in an exceptionally crime-ridden area allowed her to see and experience violence at a close range. Knowing firsthand the struggles that urban youth experience on a daily basis has caused Vonnie to make it her lifelong goal to help those less fortunate. By graduating from the Ohio State University in 2006 with a bachelor's degree in Human Development and Social Science, she managed to overcome several biases. Being young, African-American and the mother of three small children, she let those reasons encourage her to be successful rather then obstruct her from her goals. Vonnie is currently hard at work on her next novel.
