Luck of the Draw

K. A. Jordan was a refugee from the Rust Belt who escaped to the Blue Grass Kentucky in 1992. She writes and blogs from 'Jordan's Croft' a small farm where she lives with her husband, three horses, three dogs and a herd of alpacas. She says of her writing: "There are no 'ripped bodices' in my novels, but you will find charming criminals, wounded heroes, mad artists and the occasional haunted motorcycle."Her debute novel "Let's Do Lunch" spent 10 weeks on the Amazon UK Romantic Suspence Best Sellers list, peaking at #3, in December 2011.
She followed that success with "Swallow the Moon" and "Horsewomen of the Zombie Apocalypse." She holds a degree in Applied Science, spins her own yarn, gardens and can often be found on the back of her husband's Suzuki M109 motorcycle. Born in 1923 in the little town of North Kingsville, Ohio, and growing up in the Great Depression. I. C. Talbot went to a school where she knew everyone for all twelve years.
She graduated Valedictorian in a class of 13 students. She then went on to the Ashtabula Business College, the first woman in her family to seek higher education. Her first job was as a typist, then she worked as a secretary until she retired in 1988. When the economy went south in the 1970's she bought and operated a tavern from 1971 to 1988. After that, she and her husband traveled in an RV, where she did the bulk of her writing.
They finally settled in Kentucky when they could no longer travel and did not care to battle the northeastern Ohio winters. With the help of her daughter, K. A. Jordan, she began to e-publish her short stories in 2010 until she passed away in 2012. She said of her writing: "I write pulp fiction. My stories are pure entertainment." Icy Road Publishing was formed to publish her work and that of K. A.
