Twist Phelan writes the critically-acclaimed Pinnacle Peak series, legal-themed mysteries featuring different sports. Her short stories have appeared in anthologies and mystery magazines.

Twist’s success as a plaintiff's trial attorney suing corporate scoundrels enabled her to retire from law in her early thirties. She spent the next decade as an avid athlete and world traveler: Twist competed in Ironman triathlons, skate-skied in Scandinavia, team-roped in the American West, paddled outrigger canoe in Australia, rock-climbed in South America, and bicycled from the Pacific to the Atlantic Coast in less than four weeks. Twist now writes full-time; her current project is a thriller set in the financial world.
