Biography
Pettersson was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada and was a showgirl for "Les Folies Bergere" for 10 years at the Tropicana before giving up show business to be a mother and author.

Pettersson chose Las Vegas as the setting for her Zodiac series because she says, "it's the best possible place in the world for strange characters, and because I know it well."
