May Cobb is an American published author of suspenseful novels.

May hails from Austin, Texas. She has pursued her writing career and credits the musician Rahsaan Roland Kirk as inspiring her as wanting to write in the first place. She cites his ability in life to overcome the odds that were stacked up against him from prejudice to being blind to the stroke that paralyzed him in the short time that he lived so that he could play the music that he heard in his dreams as being inspirational. Calling Kirk a phenomenon, she was inspired to write a book on the musician who was able to not only play multiple different instruments but also was able to somehow play three different saxophones at the same time.

May grew up in the East area of the state of Texas in the woods, where she chose to set her initial two novels. She would attend college and then relocate to the city of San Francisco.

In that process she would be pulled toward the various detective novels of that era that were referred to as sensation novels.

The author has many favorite hobbies and they include taking naps, making various lists of things to do, gazing off into space at nothing in particular, eating a lot of cookies whenever she is in the middle of penning a scene for a book, wearing pajamas very frequently, and going into her bed at the day’s conclusion with a fantastic book to read.

When it comes to the women known as the ‘hunting wives’, they have a few things in common. They all happen to enjoy a good martini. They’ve been known to attend a gun range and do a little target practice. They also happen to be very good girls with a penchant for sometimes behaving badly. But are they capable of darker things?

Main character Sophie O’Neill had it all. She lived in Chicago and had a career other women her age would be jealous of. She loved her competitive life, even though it could be stressful at times. But she wanted nothing more than to move to a small town in Texas with her son and husband and just get into a different flow of things for a while.

They had a great life there, with a home that was gorgeous and spacious enough for them all to fit in, and a rural community that seemed picture perfect. Sophie thought she would feel fulfilled there, able to spend more time with her son and the family. But instead, she starts to become aware that the quiet is pervasive, and she’s feeling restless. She’s a little too bored here.

Things seem to pick up when she meets socialite Margot Banks. Margot is beautiful and put together, a polished woman with a full social calendar. She belongs to the clique the Hunting Wives, an elite group that lives in what seems like another world. One where target shooting happens all of the time and a little hard partying is known to occur.

Can Sophie avoid being swept into a world that is the opposite of what her family needs? Read The Hunting Wives to find out what happens!
