Thrill Chills & Adventure, Books by Bev Irwin
Award-winning author Bev Irwin lives in Belmont, Ontario with a Maine Coon cat and a Golden Retriever look-a-like. She began her writing career at the tender age of eight with the publication of her poem about daffodils. She continued to write poetry for many years while she became a registered nurse, married, had three children, and worked in several hospitals and several areas of nursing.
Bev has always been an avid reader. When an injury gave her the time to delve into writing, she began her first novel, pausing to write several children’s books. Now she writes mystery, thrillers, adventure, paranormal for adults and young adult. She loves to add a touch of medical, either phycological or physical, to her novels. She enjoys attending writing conferences and meeting other writers and fans.
Her debut novel, WHEN HEARTS COLLIDE, a contemporary romance, was published under the pen name, Kendra James.
A medical/police thriller, WITHOUT CONSENT, was blurbed by Lee Child as a “fine medical thriller."
Michael Palmer said “Bev Irwin knows how to generate unrelenting tension. Her writing is as sharp as a number 11 scalpel blade.” Winner of the Chanticleer Clue Award for Medical Suspense, nominated for a Silver Falchion.
Bit by the screenwriting bug, she has been adapting some of her novels into screenplays.
