Kathye was drawn into writing by her high shool journalism teacher who talked her into writing for the school paper. She's been writing in one capacity or another ever since. From short stories to a weekly newpaper column to fiction and non-fiction, she has touched on every writing genre avaiable to man (or woman). Kathye has also worked for a non-fiction publishing house and credits much of what she knows about the industry to the senior editor with whom she worked closely. Kathye is married and lives in New Jersey with her husband and one son left at home. She grown twin sons; one married and living in Arizona and one living in New Jersey. ONE RAINY NIGHT was written the year before Kathye lost her home and everthing in it to the flooding associated with Hurricane Floyd in 1999. Coincidently, the book opens with the heroine caught in a hurricane of her own. Kathye always says that if she knew she was going to be so prohpetic, she would hve written about a lottery winner. She also writes as Kathryn Quick. Accomplishments: President of New Jersey Romance Writers, 1992 and 2001
