Published by Poisoned Pen Press, the sixth book in the series—Necessary Ends—was released in April 2018.

A Derringer finalist and two-time nominee for Georgia Author of the Year, Tina enjoys boxing, reading tarot cards, and spending time with her family (one husband, one daughter, and one neurotic Maltese).
