Her works span contemporary fiction and historical mysteries, showcasing her versatility as a storyteller. She also pens the "City of Mystery" series, a collection of Victorian-era novels exploring the origins of forensic science in Scotland Yard. The series includes titles such as "City of Darkness," "City of Light," "City of Silence," "City of Bells," and "City of Stone," along with the Christmas novella "The Angel of Hever Castle."

Wright's writing often reflects her fascination with historical detail and character-driven narratives. Her "City of Mystery" series follows detective Trevor Welles as he navigates the challenges of modernizing criminal investigations within a rigid Victorian system. Beyond her novels, Wright's lifelong passion for literature began in childhood, when she devoured books from her local library in a small North Carolina town. Now residing in Spartanburg, South Carolina, she balances her writing with interests such as ballroom dance, travel, and advocating for rescue dogs. A mother of two and a grandmother, Wright continues to explore new creative avenues while staying true to the themes that define her work.
