Beth McMullen graduated from Boston University with a degree in English Literature. After landing a gig with Reader's Digest, she eventually realized she'd rather write books than condense them. She relocated to San Francisco, California and worked in Silicon Valley to pay the bills, trying to do as much writing and traveling as possible. Finally, after getting married, she and her husband decided to take one year and see as much of the world as they could before they ran out of money. It's a big world.

Beth currently divides her time between writing and taking care of her two children, Max, 5, and Katie, 3.

She holds an MLS from Long Island University and lives with her husband and children in Davis, California.

"McMullen's breezy style conveys both humor and emotion and is perfectly suited to her stylized spy adventure. An exuberantly entertaining start to what could become a wildly popular series." -Booklist, starred review

In the hilarious and utterly entertaining Original Sin, a former U.S. spy turned stay-at-home mother of a toddler tries to find a most elusive work-life balance when the USAWMD (United States Agency for Weapons of Mass Destruction) wields her back into action. The perfect summer read, Beth McMullen's spy-mom adventure story is on sale July 12, heralding the beginning of a delightful series. Please enjoy this sneak peek of the first four chapters, where you'll be introduced to the incredible adventures of Lucy Hamilton, aka Sally Sin-a heroine as irresistible and sassy as they come. No one will have to put a gun to your head to keep you reading-a predicament Sally has found herself in more than a few times.
