Gregg E. Brickman was born in North Dakota. She migrated to Florida and completed her education, embarking on a varied career in clinical, administrative, and academic nursing. Gregg started writing as a teenager, turning out pages of sappy poetry. In the mid-nineties, she bought a how-to book about writing a novel and committed the story burning in her head to paper. She recognized that first novel as a learner’s effort-unfit to be published, joined Mystery Writers of America, and actively pursued the craft. Credits include Illegal Intent, She Learned to Die, Plan to Kill, Imperfect Daddy, Imperfect Contract, Illegally Dead, Chapter 14 of Naked Came the Flamingo, a Murder on the Beach progressive novella edited by Barbara Parker and Joan Mickelson, and On the Edge, a short story [MiamiARTzine.com]. The Writers’ Network of South Florida recognized On the Edge among the finalists in their Seventh Annual Short Story Contest.
