August 13, 2022 Virtual Meeting

Join best-selling writer Isabella Maldonado as she shares tales from her life on the street, fighting crime.

A graduate of the FBI National Academy in Quantico and the first Latina to attain the rank of captain in the Fairfax County Police Department just outside DC, Isabella Maldonado retired as the Commander of Special Investigations and Forensics. During more than two decades on the force, her assignments included hostage negotiator, department spokesperson, and precinct commander. She uses her law enforcement background to bring a realistic edge to her writing, which includes the bestselling FBI Special Agent Nina Guerrera series (soon to be a Netflix feature film starring Jennifer Lopez).

Isabella is a past president of Desert Sleuths, the metropolitan Phoenix chapter of Sisters in Crime. She lives in Mesa, Arizona.

 During Saturday's meeting, she'll share some stories from that career. Perhaps she'll also tell us about her path to publication...and film!
