Bio
Faye Snowden started writing in her early teens, before she discovered
the writing career of her great aunt and her father’s love of poetry.
Her great aunt, Ruby Goodwin, wrote It's Good to Be Black in
1954 and her father is the author of several volumes of poetry. Like
her father, Faye started as a poet, publishing in the African American Review
and several other literary journals. In the late nineties, she experimented
with longer works which culminated in the publication of the novel
Spiral of Guilt (Kensington, 1999).
Her latest novel, Fatal Justice (Kensington, 2005)
follows Detective Richard T. Marvel and Dr. Kendra Hamilton's quest for a
killer.
