Many years ago, Reynolds competed in snowboard halfpipe and spent five winters in the mountains of France, Switzerland, Austria, and Canada. These days, she has shifted her focus to surfing, finding that water is less painful than ice when one falls on it. Reynolds' love for reading began at a young age, with her first job being a Saturday job in a bookstore at the age of 14. She has since enjoyed reading various genres, but her preference these days is for thrillers, especially psychological thrillers with unique settings. She also enjoys romance, crime, sports fiction, high-concept stories with interesting premises, and non-fiction, including sports biographies and self-help books.
Reynolds' second thriller, "The Bay" in the UK and ANZ and "The Swell" in North America, was published in June 2022. She currently lives near the beach with her two young boys and taught English for many years before becoming a full-time writer in 2018.
