Author Bio

Gioya (pronounced Joya) McRae lives in East Orange, New Jersey where she was raised. McRae has been writing most of her life, penning her first “novel” in fifth grade. She is now determined to bring her messages to the forefront. Her stories, essays, and poetry reflect today’s social issues, while imparting sheer enjoyment in the beauty of words. Also known as an editor, speaker, poet, and inspirational writer, her debut collection of mystery short stories exhibits her talents as an exceptional storyteller. Find out more about Gioya on her website www.mochamind.com or reach her via email at info@mochamind.com Much murder and mayhem Gioya McRae, in her first venture into mystery writing, has put together a book, MOSTLY MURDER, of short stories involving murder and mayhem. Pretty Young Thing is the hilarious story of an abused woman who fights back. Insult & Injury also has its amusing moments as a married couple show their love for each other and Detective Brimley must solve the mystery of who finally hurt them. My favorite is Mini Murders, again with Detective Brimley. The detective must find out who is killing babies, leaving them dressed strangely and hidden in weird locations. Is he correct in his assumptions about the murderer? The tension is heavy throughout the entire story. McRae has done an excellent job in her first attempt as a mystery writer. She has a vivid imagination and her characters are well defined even though some of the stories are quite short. It was a very enjoyable read and I would love to see her continue in this genre.
