Kathryn Smith

USA Today bestselling author Kathryn Smith wrote her first novel (372 pages about a rock band that sounded suspiciously like Duran Duran) at the age of 12. Having discovered Kathleen E. Woodiwiss at age 10, she fell in love with the genre and became a romance writer that very same day. After a brief stint as a journalist, and having taken on other jobs, she returned to university to study literature and began work on her first historical romance. That book, Elusive Passion, was released by Avon Books in April 2001. Since then, Kathryn has written more than 18 books, many of which have been translated into different languages and released around the world. Kathryn lives in Connecticut with her amazing husband (and best friend!) Steve, and their three furry "kids." Kathryn is hard at work on her next novel and isn't truly happy unless she has a book to work on.
