Adair Sanders was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee in an era where girls of a certain social class were expected to marry well and never work. Exhibiting her penchant for being contrary, Adair left the confines of an all-girl education to pursue a psychology degree and a law degree from the University of Tennessee. For the next thirty years - give or take a few - Adair enjoyed disproving the agenda her parents had designed for her, becoming the first female member of a men's dining club in Knoxville, Tennessee and then the first female partner in an old-line law firm in Jackson, Mississippi all the while, more or less successfully, balancing a home life of husband and children. Yes, honey, you can have it all. After the death of her father in 2007, Adair felt called to write the story of her family's generational dysfunction. Although still practicing law, Adair spent her evenings writing, and thus was birthed her first book, a memoir, aptly entitled Biologically Bankrupt. Three years later, having exited her firm in early retirement (an act which greatly peeved many of her male partners), Adair decided to take a dialogue writing class at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC. Low and behold, two days into the week-long class, Allison Parker, trial lawyer extraordinaire, made her appearance known to Adair, and the rest is history. As Sick As Our Secrets, An Allison Parker Mystery, was released at the end of 2010, inviting the reader to follow the spunky Alabama lawyer as she uncovers a delicious trail of sex, blackmail and murder. Book two in the mystery series, What Comes Around, was released in December 2015. Fans will find it hard to put down this thriller as Allison and an F.B.I. task force race the clock to stop a serial killer. The third book in the series, Ashes to Ashes, was released in December 2016. A killer has made one attempt on Frank Martin - will he or she make another, or find a second target. Suffer the Children, published in 2017 as the 4th book in the series, terror comes to the heartland when Jihadists plan to awaken a long dormant cell at Auburn University. Stumbling upon the plot in an F.B.I. phone intercept, Allison and new character Wold Johannsen join forces with Special Agent Jake Cleveland. Who are the members of the cell and what is their target? Finally, book five in the series - Wolf - named after the character who introduced himself to readers in book 4 - takes the reader into the world of international spycraft and assassinations. Will Allison survive the showdown with Gyuri Vargha? Adair thought the mystery series had ended with Wolf, but Rice Parker, a character who had not made an appearance in several previous books, woke Adair in the middle of the night to insist there was another story to tell. Thus The Games We Play was birthed in 2020, and Adair already knows there is another book to follow. Stay tuned in 2021 for another Allison Parker mystery. For a lighter read, Out of the Ashes, A Collection of Essays offers readers a delightful foray into a variety of topics sure to evoke laughter, tears, reflection and entertainment. Adair resides in Brevard, NC where she is a founding member of the Brevard Authors Guild and a current member of the North Carolina Writer's Network, the Chattanooga Writers Guild and the South Carolina chapter of Sisters in Crime.
