Then history and geopolitics caught her attention for a while, enticing her to read about the making of the atomic bomb and the most relevant moments of World War II.

As a young adult, she explored the fascinating world of science fiction, with the works of Isaac Asimov and Frank Herbert.

Her unusual, yet popular and highly effective teaching methods included the literary analysis of hit music lyrics, which she called, "the only surviving form of modern-day poetry."

Leaving the coveted world of corporate boardrooms for the blissful peace of what she calls "the Wolves' den," Wolfe applied herself to her one true passion, writing.

Encouraged by the feedback received from readers of her books, and by the interest manifested by the movie industry, Wolfe wrote Adverse in 2016, an adaptation of her debut novel Executive for the big screen.

Whether it's unchecked, destructive corporate greed (Executive) or personal weakness setting the stage for blackmail by a foreign interest (The Backup Asset), Wolfe surprises with remarkable understanding and portraying of human frailty, strife, and growth.

With diverse interests as a reader, Wolfe noted Isaac Asimov and Frank Herbert as her most influential science fiction authors.

Nora Roberts, Sidney Sheldon, Thomas Harris, and David Baldacci have also left their mark on Wolfe's craft.
