Mindy Mejia is a Minnesota-based author whose books sit at the intersection of literary fiction and psychological suspense. She started with The Dragon Keeper (2012), a novel set in a zoo that is more character study than thriller, before pivoting to the suspense genre with Everything You Want Me to Be (2017). That book, about a small-town murder told from three perspectives, announced her as a thriller writer with literary instincts.
Leave No Trace (2018) followed and became her best-known novel, centered on a young man who emerges from the Boundary Waters wilderness after disappearing as a child. Strike Me Down (2020) moved into the world of corporate fraud and kickboxing, while To Catch a Storm (2023) returned to the Midwest with a missing-persons case during a severe weather event. A World of Hurt (2024) is her most recent release. Mejia’s books frequently use the Minnesota landscape as more than backdrop, making the geography a source of both beauty and menace.
