title: Blood is Thicker (A Charlotte Hayes Novel) (Volume 2)
author:  S.S. Lange 
description: S.S. Lange was the kid that hid under the covers with a flashlight, reading until far past her bedtime. Shes also the kid that sometimes had a pencil and paper under those covers. Shes traded the flashlights and notebooks for a laptop and smartphone, although she still does some of her best reading and writing planning under the covers. As a mom, wife, small business owner, manager, and freelancer, her writing is done on pure passion and caffeine. She writes suspense novels that are sometimes gritty, occasionally funny (intentional or not, you decide), and chock full of chatty characters. When shes not writing or thinking about writing (okay fine, shes always thinking about it), she enjoys long walks in the woods, terrible Netflix movies, and of course making animal noises with her toddler. Her favorite place to read is on the treadmillit keeps her running. Shes addicted to Zumba, anything chocolate, and country music. She lives in southern New Hampshire with her husband, daughter, and their crazy dog. You can find more about S.S.
