Luana is an award-winning author, minister's wife, and former missionary with a passion for spy thrillers and mystery novels. She began writing the Titus Ray novels when her husband retired from the ministry. Now she writes from an undisclosed location, trying to avoid the torture of mundane housework and golf stories.
