Readers have praised my Detective Madison Knight Series, and my Detective Amanda Steele Series for several reasons. One of these is the fact that both Madison and Amanda are strong female leads.
Madison Knight was born when I was looking to create a no-nonsense female who would be the lead in a police procedural series. I was tired of seeing women take a back seat to a man.
Here are some things reviewers have said about Madison:
“Madison Knight is a true renaissance woman—sharp, talented, and unbeatable.”–K.J. Howe, bestselling author of Skyjack
“Madison is particularly headstrong and gung-ho and this makes for exciting fiction…” –Literary Flits
“Madison Knight is a tough detective, who will let nothing stand in her way to find the guilty.” –The Reading Café
“Madison Knight is an intriguing protagonist. She’s independent, strong, capable, intelligent, and overall, a very realistic character.” –I Heart Reading
“Madison’s character is extremely well-written and realistic. She encompasses what all women should strive to become—an independent thinker, strong-willed, dedicated, and hardworking.” –Lynchburg Mama
“Madison is an excellently crafted persona who isn’t flawless or ideal. She makes mistakes, she regrets making those mistakes, and tries her best to correct them.” –Fanna
Detective Amanda Steele’s character has garnered exceptional praise too. Here is a snapshot:
“Detective Steele is a strong female protagonist with a deep sense of justice and protector of the underdog.” -Tammy, NetGalley
“Amanda’s a determined woman, and history has shown that women like that don’t let anything stand in their way. -NetGalley Review
“I really have grown to love Amanda, and she continues to have personal growth in each book.” –Marta, NetGalley
“[Amanda is] sarcastic and raw, and just seemed [more] like a real person than a character in a story. –NetGalley
“Amanda is a character that evokes sympathy and respect. I can’t wait to read what happens next for her.” – NetGalley
“Amanda Steele is one heck of a detective, and I cannot wait to see where Arnold takes her!” -NetGalley
And the really good news for avid readers? Both these series afford readers several books to choose from!
