Hello Celine,
Thanks for asking. Some of my books have been translated into Dutch, with more on the way. You could start with Nooduitgang, the first in the Katerina Carter series, and then follow with Met gelijke munt. Engels des doods, the third in the series, will be out next week.
I have many more books in English, which I hope will be translated into Dutch soon. You can keep up to date by checking my website at www.colleencross.com
Happy reading!

I deal with writer's block by working on more than one project at a time. If I'm stuck on one I find that switching gears can get the creative juices flowing again. Right now I'm writing two books and outlining a new series. So much to do, so little time!
If you write, how do you deal with writer's block?

I'm currently working on a short story series called the Color of Money.
It's a tie-in to the Katerina Carter Fraud Thriller Series. Although the focus is more on Kat and Jace away from the office, crime has a way of finding them! I'm currently working on #3 in the series, but Color of Money #1 will be released next week!
Here's more about Red Handed, #1 in the Color of Money Series:
Katerina Carter and boyfriend Jace Burton accept an impromptu party invitation. Crime is the last thing on their minds, until a friend's winning wine investment leaves a sour taste in Kat’s mouth and she uncovers a million-dollar fraud, all before dinner!
Hope you enjoy it!

My book ideas are partially inspired by my background in finance and forensic accounting. While most people aren't surprised that money is a key motivator in many crimes, they don't realize the important clues the money trail leaves behind.
Forensic accounting is akin to DNA; evidence in that is invisible to the untrained eye is very difficult to hide from an experienced fraud investigator like Kat Carter, the fraud investigator in Exit Strategy and Game Theory. Financial payoffs are a key motivator in crimes from heists to murder, and just about everything in between.
I enjoy reading crime, thrillers and mysteries, so naturally I write about those too. I'm also influenced by current events, although I tend to spin them around and ask "what if" things had turned out differently. Or- what else is there to the story that they're not telling us?
Power and corruption are important themes to me. Like it or not, everything comes down to money, too often at the expense of ordinary people like you and me. I want to tell that story.

Hi Anne,
Kat Carter #3 will be out in Fall 2015. I took some time out to write Anatomy of a Ponzi. Each Katerina Carter thriller takes me about a year to write. I wish I could write faster but I guess I'm a bit of a slow writer.
I am so thrilled that you are reading Game Theory and enjoying it. I agree it's sad about Harry. He is quite a lovable character, and it was hard for me to put him in that situation.
Thank you so much for your comments and hope you enjoy the rest of Game Theory!
