DEVELOP CATEGORIES AUTHORS ALEX KAVA A native of Silver Creek, Nebraska, Alex Kava, or actually Sharon Kava, is an established psychological thriller writer. Many of her books have been featured on bestseller lists. She started writing very early, but only her brother understood and shared her fascination with literature. Her parents not only did not support her, they even tried to discourage her from reading books. They did not believe that anyone could make a living from writing. After graduating from college in 1982, Alex founded a graphics company specializing in collaboration with the advertising sector. Then, from 1992, she worked in her former school as head of PR. However, after four years she resigned from this position and devoted herself exclusively to a literary career. Her novels quickly gained recognition. They are based on reliable psychological knowledge as well as knowledge of police procedures, which gives them credibility. Although they are literary fiction, often the impetus for writing them came from real crimes. Based on specific events, Kava constructs probable developments of real, as yet unexplained threads of a given investigation. She rightly believes that this method of writing helps her acquire the trait of authenticity that is so much appreciated by readers. No matter what cruel, insane crimes we read. If we believe the author, we will allow ourselves to be drawn into her dark world. Together with her, we try to answer the question whether evil is an inherent feature of human nature and why some of us cross the border so easily beyond which darkness extends.
