area and worked for the CIA until she resigned to raise her children. This is refreshing, as many authors leave you wondering or distracted by the characters’ questionable actions.Ībramson, a BYU graduate, lives in the D.C. She often has the characters show awareness of extreme situations and has them explain their choices. Thrillers by their nature stretch credulity, but Abramson has a knack for keeping the readers aware of characters’ motivations, even in extreme situations. She doesn’t introduce false conflicts or obstacles to stave off the resolution until the book is long enough to publish (which seems to be the case with some other authors in the genre).
One of her best abilities is taking incredible, or at least unusual, situations-a CIA agent meets a prince? a diplomat and a Navy SEAL have to hike out of a hostile country after their evac helicopter takes off without them?-and drawing in the reader through character details, and thrilling yet believable plots.Ībramson also has a talent for creating real obstacles to romance, not just the failures of communication that many other authors rely on, the kind that have you rolling your eyes and thinking, “Why don’t these people just talk to each other?” In Abramson’s books, the obstacles are real-often because the central characters are so busy dealing with danger that they don’t have time to pursue a closer relationship.
Traci Hunter Abramson has written going-on-40 books for the LDS market that combine elements of suspense, romance, and intelligence (as in both smarts and secret agents).
