Rhodi has been reading or writing ever since, and began her career as a transcription linguist in US Army intelligence. She later made a living as a technical writer during the Internet boom, working on her first novel in the early mornings and at night. Rhodi Hawk won the International Thriller Writers Scholarship for her first work of fiction, A Twisted Ladder.
