Mary Stone is an American author of FBI thriller novels. Born and raised in the Appalachian region, she developed an interest in mystery through unexplained events in her youth and became an avid reader of Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Mary Higgins Clark.
After a career in healthcare marketing, Stone pivoted to freelance editing during the 2008 recession before writing her own novels. Her debut, Winter’s Mourn (2019), launched the Winter Black series about an FBI agent hunting the serial killer who destroyed her family. The series has expanded to over twenty-five books.
Stone has founded Mary Stone Publishing, her own publishing house, and works with co-writers to maintain a prolific output across multiple series featuring female FBI agents investigating violent crimes.
