Mary Jane Clark writes what she knows.

Since her emergence on the media-thriller scene in 1998, Mary Jane has been praised for her ability to use insider knowledge of the news business to create action and intrigue in her novels.

And an insider, she is. Mary Jane is a writer and producer at CBS News' New York City headquarters, where she began her television career as a desk assistant after graduating with degrees in journalism and political science from the University of Rhode Island.

"I hope that I am sharing with you an insider's view of the television news world and that my "recurring character" KEY News, and the personalities who work there, love there, scheme there and plot there will entertain you, scare you, thrill you and satisfy you. Nothing would make me happier than that,"

-- Mary Jane Clark
