Stephanie Jaye Evans is the author of the debut novel FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH: A Sugar Land Mystery (Berkley Prime Crime trade paperback, June 2012), the first in a new series featuring Walker ‘Bear’ Wells, a Texas minister who becomes involved in a local murder when he discovers that the chief suspect is dating Bear’s own teenage daughter. Evans is herself the daughter of a trail-blazing Church of Christ minister, and the great-granddaughter of a circuit-riding preacher. She and her husband live in Sugar Land, Texas, and have seven grown children and two badly-behaved pugs.
