“Indy Quillen offers a captivating read with an engaging protagonist. There are twists and turns aplenty in TRACKER, a book that is both action-filled and didactic.”

Alan Russell Bestselling author of Burning Man

Indy Quillen’s done it again! Pursuit will keep readers turning the page through the twists and double-twists of this Rubic’s Cube of a story. Compelling and complex. Just the way we like our thrillers.

“Indy Quillen knows that a man is measured in the depth of his character. When she puts her naturalistic and noble Native American tracker Fox Walker on the trail, one may be certain he will not lead his readers astray.”

Dale Amidei author of series fiction in Jon’s Trilogy, Sean’s File, and Boone’s File

“Indy has a fantastic way of grabbing the authenticity of real life search and rescue, survival, mystery and suspense that puts you on the edge of the cliff, wondering what’s next.”

Carl LaCasse, former Search and Rescue Team Captain

“A gifted artist faces betrayal by her lover in REPUTATION, a romantic suspense novel from author Indy Quillen.”

Laura Taylor, 6-Time Romantic Times Award Winner

Being outside in nature is the most basic part of who I am. Besides gaining knowledge about wildlife, I learn lessons about who I am, and constantly surprise myself with what I am capable of achieving. This love of the out-of-doors also means I’m a self-reliance enthusiast. Knowing I have the skills and knowledge to cope with emergencies or natural disasters gives me a peace of mind. I may never need those skills—but it’s nice to have them all the same. It’s no surprise that many of the characters in my novels exhibit some of these same traits—or learn them along the way.

Nature continually inspires me. It is a part of all my writings, no matter the genre or subject matter.  As I venture into this brave new world of publishing, I sense new adventures and more ways to learn self–reliance. I hope you’ll stick around to see what happens and share your experiences as well.
