Autorenporträt
Born and raised in Atlantic Canada, Jeanne Flemming, spent the bulk of her career in the regulatory sector of the federal government, which included a stint in criminal investigations, international tax evasion, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing. She was the first woman to be appointed head of an intelligence agency when the Prime Minister appointed her head of FINTRAC, Canada's financial intelligence agency from which she retired. It should come as no surprise that she would turn her sights to writing crime fiction and economic crime. The author lives in Ottawa with her husband who as a retired RCMP/CSIS officer encourage her writing crime novels. Summering in St. Martin's on the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, the location inspired her to create a fictitious village in which to locate her crime works. With the highest tides in the world, romantic covered bridges, a past glory in ship building and a current tourist location, it was easy to use such a whimsical location to cover many topics both in criminal activity as well as human relationships.
