Kay is a middle child, an extrovert, and a writer. She daydreams a lot. She has a relatively diverse resume. Some highlights include: park ranger, Special Olympics fundraiser, museum marketing manager, and college professor. Some of those jobs definitely influence her writing, as do the places she's lived. Oh the places she's lived! They make the resume look boring. They include (but are not limited to) the suburbs outside Detroit, Yellowstone National Park, a small town in northern Montana, an even smaller town on the Utah/Colorado border, Las Vegas, and San Francisco. Kay started writing as a kid, but never got serious about it until she spent a lonely winter in a village with just thirteen other people at 8,000 feet watching the snow drift. Then she put her computer keyboard to work, and she's been at it ever since. A lot of people ask Kay why she writes romance. The answer is simple. She is in love with the idea of love. She loves to be in love. She loves to see people be in love. She loves to watch people fall in love. It’s all amazing all the time. And the thing about love is – everyone gets it at some point in their life, in some way, from someone. It is a universal thing.
